Garden And Gossip Forums

I may have got them with the aid of a book. Not too certain about 5. Now to go back and look at the picture of each one.

Is veggie going to put the answers up or do you want ne of us to venture forth?

Have you just volunteered Mark?

I didn't want to put the answers up as everyone would say that they had 12/12.

OK, every body above seems th think they have got them all.

My guesses are:

1 orange tip
2 clouded yellow
3 peacock
4 comma
5 speckled wood
6 small blue
7 holly blue
8 small tortoise shell
9 brimstone
10 chequered skipper
11 green hairstreak
12 painted lady

and the book I used was British Wildlife (Arlott = 2)

11/12, Mark.
I'll let someone else tell you which one is wrong!

6 is small copper

^^^ What do you think, Mark?

I agree with SC - whose initials happen to match "small copper"

I racked my aging biologist memory for the answers, then double-checked with Wikipedia that I wasn't imagining/mis-remembering them!

I got 5 and 9 wrong

Small copper is my favourite butterfly
