Saving butterflies, moths and our environment
This page provides links to photos of all our butterflies in the UK to aid identification and illustrate examples of behaviour, aberrations and the immature stages. There are many, many gaps to fill so if you are willing to share some of your photos please let us know.
Links are given for European butterflies and British moths as well.
Most original photos will be retained in the Photo Stock Library.
