Cryptic Wood White
Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:00 pm
Hi all,
I am making this request to UK Butterfly members for any information/advice they may be able to give me re seeing Cryptic Wood White, Leptidea juvernica. This remains the only UK butterfly species I have yet to see. Obviously I have to go to Ireland (Northern or Republic ) to see it. Has anyone made a trip to see this species ? If so what was the location ? I know Craigavon Lakes in Northern Ireland is a favoured site and there are other sites in the Republic. As I live in South Wales I can take the Fishguard to Rosslare ferry but presumably Craigavon Lakes would be best served by plane from one of the UK`s western airports. If anyone can advise me of the logistics or have any useful information they can impart I`d be very grateful.
