Happy #EarthDay 🌍 Swallowtails come in a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes, and sizes, adding to the beauty and biodiversity of planet Earth. Join us in protecting them for the future. 📸: Vita Kalivoda, Khew Sin Khoon, Martin Partridge.
Don't forget to vote #Swallowtail for the @guardian Invertebrate of the Year 2024! 🦋 Voting closes 8am on Monday theguardian.com/environment/20…
We've been inundated with BRILLIANT nominations for invertebrate of the year from many readers, thank you. Keep them coming. Here's the latest from my shortlist (and reveals my bias, sorry) – theguardian.com/environment/20…
Have you got your White’s in a muddle? Do the Skippers have you hopping and jumping? Are day-flying moths a mystery? We’ll look at some of the common identification challenges and offer helpful guidance and top tips. Not had a Invite? Like to join in? Please let us know.
Speckled Wood and Orange Tip first seen this week firing the starting gun on the butterfly season in Yorkshire. With a cracking Easter weekend forecast of 14'C and sunny can expect more first sightings? So far the spring species are dead on schedule yorkshirebutterflies.org.uk/home
Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Wetlands are good for people as well as the planet 💧🌿 They also support many scarce and beautiful moths, including the Marsh Carpet, Reed Dagger, Scarce Pug and Fenn's Wainscot, as well as the amazing Swallowtail butterfly. 📷: Sophie Hall
However, the Norfolk Broads are under threat from the impacts of climate change, including flooding and salinisation events. Without help, the future of the British Swallowtail is uncertain. Find out more at sbbt.org.uk/conservation-s…
This #WorldWetlandsDay, we’re celebrating The Norfolk Broads – a vital wetland habitat for Britain’s only resident swallowtail. #WWD2024 📸Martin Partridge
Swallowtail's worst ever year: climate change will destroy the Broads as we know it. Many charities, farmers, residents are doing what they can to adapt. Government isn't. Politicians are temperamentally incapable of tackling long-term crises. theguardian.com/environment/20…
SBBT's Mark Collins spoke to the Guardian about the swallowtail, which has suffered its worst summer in Britain since records began. theguardian.com/environment/20…
