Has anyone else noticed the lack of flutterbyes this year, so far I have seen just one.

It may mean less caterpillars but a world without flutterbyes would be a grim place...

I was thinking the same earlier today when contemplating how to net my broccoli. I did see some earlier in the year but not one of any colour recently

Sadly, I can't recall seeing any at all in the last few weeks ............... Saw a couple earlier in the year (think it was April..) but it's not good ...... Even a sighting of the cabbage whites would be welcome ..

I've seen the odd butterfly, but very few. This year I've seen Holly Blue, Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, Green-veined White, Small White, Ringlet and a Painted Lady. I think that's all, not a lot considering it's July already.

I haven't seen many either , I do keep seeing an orangey speckled/patterned one in the forest but it never seems to land or stay still nr for me to see what it looks like, very annoying.
Vague I know

Not seen many butterflies, but picked a few caterpillars off my kale, so they're definitely around.

[Ryez]

I haven't seen any either this year yet, and I live in the countryside! Where are they?

[Containergardener]

Drizzle/mizzle at the moment, heavy rain due later .

[Penellype]

The butterflies are back - saw a white and a coloured (peacock probably) this morning.

Still none here, mind you my thermostatically controled heating came on last night...............
