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.

Remember yesterday’s The last Small copper?
Well, I wrote the first part of that post last week, then, a couple of days later, was dazzled by the glinting of another Small copper at a different location. Will there be more, I wonder?
