Green Hairstreak

Green Hairstreak-01

 

One of the most widespread, and most often seen of our Hairstreaks, the green is, in my experience, prone to significant swings in numbers, year on year, sometimes becoming almost "abundant" on some sites. This one was pictured on the banks of Loch Arkaig in Scotland.

The butterfly above was a first Gloucestershire photograph for me at Breakheart Quarry, outside Dursley, in May 2008
