Whitespots country park - Mid June
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 10:26 am
I have not been to this location properly for some years and I went last year and saw loads of 6 spot burnet in evening. There was 5-6 per knapweed plant and there was 5-6 knapweed and there was 10+ pupae on plants.
This location, whitespots country park, is only 6-7 miles from my house and this is a prime location for butterflies and moths. One year in July I saw 20+ red admiral on a bush and a rock which had sun shining oni it had 12+ common blue. I am nearly sure there is brown argus too.
Anyway, what butterflies/moths would I be expected to see in mid 2nd 3rd week June? I am planning to go around this time and have a thourgh look.
I have seen speckled wood and Meadow Brown here too in the shady areas. There is a meadow area, a field, another meadow area and a lake nearby. I think there is magpie moths here too.
Could anyone help on the species I'd find around this time of year?
