1st Butterflies of spring.

Posted on March 22, 2021 by Andy Finnegan

The Brimstone is a large, pale yellow butterfly they have distinctive, leaf-shaped wings. Adults hibernate through cold weather. They are most common in the spring and normally the 1st butterfly I spot – true to form today there were lots on the wing in the local meadows.

Great camouflage on this butterfly. I’m jealous, as we won’t have butterflies for another month I’d say, although we had 72 degrees F (22 C) today.
