Common Butterflies - May
This page shows the commonest butterflies recorded in Yorkshire in
May. The photos are not intended to
be used for identification purposes, but may be helpful in deciding
where to start looking in your favourite butterfly book (eg 'Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland'
by
Lewington). Click on
any of the photos below to see larger versions. You will probably want to take a look
at the Butterfly
Conservation website
and also the Yorkshire
branch of Butterfly Conservation (see the 'Galleries' section)
for photos of butterflies which are not shown here (and more photos of the ones
which are).
If you have better photos of any of the butterflies on this page, and are
happy for them to be used here, then please email them to info@scarboroughwildlife.org.uk
. Remember that photos should
show the main features used in identifying the butterfly and be of a
'standard' specimen rather than an unusual form.
