Nice to see a couple of Clouded Yellows on the wing today along the edge of Pembrey Forest. Thanks to an extremely hot summer I’ve seen more this year than I have in the past twenty, by a factor of at least four! #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies

“Butterflies possess an extra photoreceptor cell in each unit of their compound eyes, giving them enhanced color vision compared to other insects. This additional...cell allows butterflies to detect more combinations of blue and ultraviolet light, which aids in flower location and mate recognition”
Butterfly color vision reveals a surprising shortcut in evolution
Butterflies evolved an extra color-sensing eye cell, and spare brain neurons connected with the new visual input correctly.

Most of what we call weeds are actually wildflowers. Dandelions, clover —they're food sources for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that need them to survive. When we spray herbicides or pull everything that isn't a manicured lawn, we're removing the very plants that keep these insects alive.

Mourning Cloak, Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa). Among the longest-lived butterflies in North America and Eurasia. They pass on flowers to drink tree sap, boozy fruit, and bug honeydew. #butterfly #nature #biology #insects #wildlife
This photo shows the ventral view of a Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa), or Camberwell Beauty. Its bark-like, charcoal-black undersides with pale margins offer ideal camouflage against tree trunks and leaf litter. Key Traits & Natural History: Appearance: Dark, striated undersides with ragged cream borders; dorsally maroon-brown with yellow margins and iridescent blue spots. Wingspan is 2.25–3.5 in (5.7–8.9 cm). Lifespan & Overwintering: Adults live up to 10–12 months, hibernating in tree hollows or bark to emerge early in spring. Diet: Adults favor tree sap, rotting fruit, and aphid honeydew over nectar. Host Plants: Communal caterpillars feed on willow, elm, poplar, and birch leaves.
