Did you know?
š¦ Almost 60 species of butterfly can be found in the UK
š¦ Butterflies have four different life stages - egg, caterpillar, pupa, adult
š¦ Butterflies consume their food through their proboscis, but the proboscis doesn't have taste buds, so they use taste receptors on their feet.
š¦ Butterflies are important markers for the health of our environment ā where butterflies flourish, you will also find lots of other invertebrates
To help butterflies you can plant native, nectar-rich plants in your outdoor space, or even use a window box. You can also take part in the Big
#ButterflyCount to help assess how butterflies are doing in the UK.
