Is this the last butterfly I’ll see in 2024? Quite possibly, as the overnight temperatures have now started to fall to single digits. Still, Red admirals are very resilient and, though they should have migrated south by now, I’m seeing reports of the odd one, like this beauty I spotted in a local field on Tuesday, still flying when the sun occasionally appears.

I spied a speckled wood about 30 minutes ago dancing in the sunshine on Hailey Park , Llandaff North

Wonderful! And I spotted another Red admiral today in Bute Park. The sunshine brings them out. š
