Greetwell Hollow area, Lincoln 3 August 2009 13.00 - 13.45 Not many butterflies in the grassland area but where it borders the quarry with abundant buddleia it was heaving with butterflies. Never seen so many painted ladies or peacocks in my life. Reminded me of monarch butterflies from a trip to California.
Painted Lady 400-500 Peacock 150 Essex skipper 1 Small Skipper 9 Speckled wood 5 Gatekeeper 18 Meadow Brown 10 Large White 100 Comma 1 Small Tortoiseshell 4 Common Blue 20 Small White 12 Brown Argus 2 Green-veined White 3 Plus frequent six-spot burnets and silver Y moths
