Rishworth - Yellow!

Spent half an hour chasing a Brimstone around the wildflower meadow glade in the wood, it evaded the net completely by an inch. We have had Brimstones once every year or every two years so I am convinced there is a breeding population. The one seen today was a brilliant male searching for a mate, I hope I get a picture of one in the coming days. Any comments welcome,..

Always better to capture butterflies with a camera rather than a net IMO !

Yes agree Charlie and there still has not been a decent photo of Brimstone Butterfly taken in Calderdale !!!!!!!!, people do not realise that 10 years ago Brimstone was very very rare.Its only in the last 5 years that they have become regular..
