Week 10 2026 Butterfly Survey Trumpington Meadows

 Fortunately the weather (17 degrees, 50% to full sun) was much better than forecast and the butterflies were on the wing. Here distant shots of some of out finds to help me confirm IDs. Delighted to see our first Marbled White, lots of Painted Ladies and the first Ringlet (not photographed), Red Admiral, Small White, Common Blue, Comma and Meadow Brown,,  Only single Bee and Common Spotted Orchids found - hopefully there will be more with the recent rain. The Vestal Cuckoo bee and Mother Shipton Moth were nice additions to the collection
