Learn About Butterflies Day

In keeping with the spirit of Learn About Butterflies Day, celebrate by learning a little more about the wide range of butterflies. With over 20,000 types of butterflies worldwide today is the perfect day to learn about butterflies. Their wing spans can range from ½ inch to 11 inches. Did you know that in their adult stage butterflies can live from a week up to a year, depending on the species? Many butterflies migrate over long distances the most famous migrations are those of the Monarch butterfly from Mexico to the northern USA and southern Canada, a distance of about 2500 to 3000 miles. That’s a lot of air miles!

If you need some inspiration about how to celebrate, here are five ideas for you to try:

1. Start a butterfly garden.

One of the best ways to attract butterflies to your yard is to plant nectar-producing flowers that have red, yellow, orange, pink, or purple blossoms. Plant them in a sunny spot in a group so they grow in clusters.

2. Make a butterfly snack.

Fresh fruit is the perfect springtime snack, so use your imagination to whip up a fruity butterfly treat. You can also put a bit of fruit out in your garden for the butterflies to enjoy.

3. Learn something you didn’t know about butterflies.

Did you know that a butterfly can’t fly if its body temperature falls below 86°F? Or that they drink the tears of turtles? And they use their feet to taste?

4. Get crafty.

Grab some card, pipe cleaners and clothes peg and some pom-poms and here’s how you create your own butterfly:

Decorate some card with markers and then spray it with water to create its wings.

Once it dries, wrap a pipe cleaner around the middle of the card.

Glue pom-poms onto the clothespin and clip the clothespin to the cards.

Bend the pipe cleaner to make the antennae.

5. Visit your local zoo.

If in doubt learn from the experts. Heading to your local zoo and talking to the keepers that look after these amazing creatures from caterpillar to larvae and then to butterfly. They will be able to show you just how amazing these creatures are.

Observed annually, March 14th is National Learn About Butterflies Day. Spring and summer are just right around the corner, so it is a good time to take a few minutes and learn something new about butterflies and appreciate their beauty.

Butterflies need our help to survive as they rely on flowers and other natural sources for survival. We can help them by planting more flowers.

There are more than 20,000 types of butterflies worldwide

Their wing spans can range from ½ inch to 11 inches.

Butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year, depending on the species.

Many butterflies migrate over long distances. Particularly famous migrations are those of the Monarch butterfly from Mexico to the northern USA and southern Canada, a distance of about 2500 to 3000 miles.

02/07/2023-An amazing day at Knepp

Flora and fauna photos taken in this set: 1. Some inspirational White Storks, I was euphoric to see these mesmerising birds flying right from the start of the visit at the walker's car park and with around five in the air at one point, on nests, with young, feeding young, uniquely for this annual visit for us on the ground in grass and hear their distinctive and joyful clacking sounds. It still feels quite surreal to see these birds in the British countryside and yet they feel so in place, what amazing work this project has done I loved the views we got of them today. 2. Silver-washed Fritillary, I saw my first of the year of these golden butterflies the species that got me into butterflies, a bonus one to the usual key butterflies here that I hoped we might see. 3. Gatekeeper, a key one seen on a butterfly bonanza. 4. Purple Emperor, I felt so honoured and lucky that we saw possibly as many as twenty of these gigantic and extremely prepossessing butterflies today the other main species alongside White Stork we came for and what first attracted us here. We got exhilarating and exquisite views of them dancing along the tree tops, fighting and landed. 5. Common toadflax in the sun, the first I'd seen on a walk this year a flower I like and have seen here before. 6. Purple Hairstreak, it was wonderful to see many of these astonishing butterflies well too capping off an extraordinary week I've had for seeing them the best week I've had for them in terms of how many I've seen at Lakeside and here. 7. Marsh woundwort, another flower seen well. 8. A White-letter Hairstreak, we had hoped to see one and all thanks to a kind man (and his lovely dog) that we got talking to who alerted us to them in an elm we saw some. A butterfly we didn't see at all last year, it was a strong addition to the day and year. What a moment to watch them. 9. A lovely Mistle Thrush I enjoyed seeing. 10. Fallow Deers, always great to see here.

Another hoped for addition to the core targets we saw was White Admiral, the four butterfly year ticks (this, White-letter Hairstreak, Silver-washed Fritillary and Purple Emperors) took my butterfly year list to 41 after an amazing few butterfly weeks putting me in such a great position. I thought to myself before today I could see these four here but didn't think I'd see them all so was ecstatic when I did and it felt very efficient to see the extra ones. My first Yellow Shell moth and charming black and orange Cinnabar Moth Caterpillars of the year and Red Admiral, Comma, Large Skipper, Small Skipper, Marbled White, Meadow Brown, Ringlet, Broad-bodied Chaser, Banded Demoiselle, Red Kite, Buzzard, Green Woodpecker, Swallow, House Martin, young Great Crested Grebe and Coot on the lake, Goldfinch, House Sparrows, Common Red Soldier beetle and hearing Jay, Wren and Chiffchaff were other highlights. Teasel, dock, self heal, white clover, garden loosestrife, foxgloves, mallow, centaury, buttercup, great willowherb and cuckoo-pint were other key plants seen. What a sensational wild day with truly so much seen, another of my days of the year.
