Ivydene Gardens Butterfly Gallery:
Introduction
 

This Butterfly Gallery contains pictures of Eggs, Caterpillars, and Chrysalises which grow into:-

  • Butterflies.

There is also pictures of the Plants that these 68 BUTTERFLIES eat or use in their lifespan, the Habitats they live in and who eats them.

This butterfly gallery has thumbnail pictures of Caterpillars in the following colours:-

 

This butterfly gallery has thumbnail pictures of Adult Butterflies that come from the above Caterpillars, in the following species:-

  • Butterflies - Aristocrats
  • The aristocrat butterflies (Nymphalids) have short, non-functional front legs covered in long hairs, which are held close to the head. The butterflies hibernate during the winter, except for the Red Admiral, Painted Lady and Camberwell Beauty who migrate to the Continent or North Africa for the winter. Most of the aristocrat caterpillars eat the stinging nettle. It is difficult to tell the sex of the butterfly by its wing colour.
  • Butterflies - Blues, Hairstreaks and Copper
  • The Blues, Hairstreaks and Copper butterflies (Lycaenidae family) are small and swift flyers. The blues and copper have bright metallic colours and are found in open grassy areas rich in wild flowers. The hairstreaks have a fine white line known as a 'hairstreak' on the underside of the wings and live in woodlands and glades. Caterpillars of the White-letter Hairstreak, the Green Hairstreak, the Silver-studded Blue and the Chalk-hill Blue all have a 'honey-gland' on their bodies, which secretes a fluid that ants like to drink. The ants 'farm' these caterpillars, moving them to suitable food plants in return for the secretion.
  • Butterflies - Browns
  • The brown butterflies (Satyridae family) all have false eyes either on the upper or lower surface of the wings to confuse predatory birds or lizards about the position of the body. Except for the Marbled White, the browns are brown and have only 4 walking legs. The caterpillars all eat grass and spend the winter as caterpillars feeding during the mild weather. The Speckled Wood may also live through the winter as a chrysalis. The Large Heath, the Ringlet and the Scotch Argus occur almost exclusively in the North, the Gatekeeper and the Marbled White are predominantly Southern and the rest are throughout Britain.
  • Butterflies - Fritillaries
  • Fritillary comes from the Latin Fritillus, meaning dice box, and is used to describe the chequer pattern on their wings of spotted butterflies in the Nymphaphalidae family. The females are lighter coloured with rounded wingtips. The butterflies live in open sections of deciduous woodland - glades, rides, clearings and margins. 5 species use woodland violets as their caterpillar food. Replacement of deciduous woodland in Southern England by conifer plantations has obliterated their habitat and them.
  • Butterflies - Monarch
  • The Monarch is an American Butterfly which travels 3,500 miles across the Atlantic Ocean between August and October to the West of the British Isles. The caterpillars eat milkweed, which is a rare garden or greenhouse plant.
  • Butterfles - Skippers
  • The skippers are small, compact butterflies who fly with great speed (using their large compound eyes for all-round vision) and manoeuvrability. The skippers wings and body are the same length, whereas other families have wings proportionlly much longer. In order to sunbath when resting, the butterfly may hold the fore-wings partially raised and the hind-wings horizontal. Skippers are aggressive in defence of a patch of grass or wild flowers. The caterpillars all feed inside a curled leaf or in a protective tent of several leaves drawn together with silk, which may be used in the winter as well.
  • Butterflies - Swallowtail
  • The Swalowtail only survives in the Norfolk Broads. The caterpillar only eats Milk Parsley and is now protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981.
  • Butterflies - Whites and Yellows
  • The British Pieridae Family has the Whites (Pierinae), the Yellows (Coliadinae) and the Wood White (Dismorphiinae) sub families. All species contain white or yellow pigments in their wings. The caterpillars are without spines and its food plants are mostly in the cabbage and peaflower families, but the Brimstone caterpillar feeds solely on Buckthorn. The Brimstone hibernates as a butterfly, whereas the others hibernate as chrysalises. The white and yellow colours are caused by waste products being stored in the wings. Butterflies of the spring generation tend to be weakly marked with grey while those of the summer tend to have heavy black marks. These black-white marks are poisonous to birds, which are obtained from cabbage leaves.

 

BioImages - Virtual Field-Guide (UK)to UK Biodiversity offers an enormous collection of photographs of wild species and natural history objects. It covers most groups of organisms with the exception of birds and other vertebrates. Species (and other taxon) web-pages also include lists of trophic relationships abstracted from published sources. These are cross-referenced under both species involved (eg the fungus and its host, or the insect and its foodplant.). PAPILIONOIDEA (butterflies) section has photos and suggested literature of butterflies, possibly covering those that I do not have photos of in this website.

 

 

Natural England's Gardening with wildlife in mind aims to help people choose plants likely to attract wildlife. It also shows what eats what in the garden. Adult butterflies may be attracted to feed on nectar provided by a wide range of garden plants.

UKButterflies Larval Foodplants website page lists the larval foodplants used by British butterflies. The name of each foodplant links to a Google search. An indication of whether the foodplant is a primary or secondary food source is also given.

Please note that the Butterfly you see for only a short time has grown up on plants as an egg, caterpillar and chrysalis for up to 11 months, before becoming a butterfly. If the plants that they live on during that time are removed, or sprayed with herbicide, then you will not see the butterfly.
 

Topic - Wildlife on Plant Photo Gallery.

Some UK native butterflies eat material from UK Native Wildflowers and live on them as eggs, caterpillars (Large Skipper eats False Brome grass - Brachypodium sylvaticum - for 11 months from July to May as a Caterpillar before becoming a Chrysalis within 3 weeks in May) chrysalis or butterflies ALL YEAR ROUND.
Please leave a small area in your garden for wildflowers to grow without disturbance throughout the year for the benefit of butterflies, moths and other wildlife who are dependant on them.

Topic -
Plant Photo Galleries for Wildflowers

There are 180 families in the Wildflowers of the UK and they have been split up into 22 Galleries to allow space for up to 100 plants per gallery.

Each plant named in each of the Wildflower Family Pages may have a link to:-

its Plant Description Page in its Common Name in one of those Wildflower Plant Galleries and will have links

to external sites to purchase the plant or seed in its Botanical Name,

to see photos in its Flowering Months and

to read habitat details in its Habitat Column.

Links to the other Butterflies:-

Black Hairstreak uses Blackthorn, Privet, Guelder Rose, and Wayfaring tree
Brown Hairstreak uses Blackthorn, Bramble flowers and tops of Ash trees for males to congregate in
Camberwell Beauty It is not believed that it breeds in the UK, but butterflies swarm over from European Countries depending on the weather.
Chequered Skipper uses False Brome, Hairy Brome Grass, Bugle

I have detailed the use of plants by these eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and butterfly in full with either photos of those butterflies, etc or illustrations from Sandars. It shows that they do use plants all year round and I will insert the information of their Life Histories into the remainder of the Butterfly Description Pages but I will put no further information in this table or the Butterfly Name with its use of plants table. Please see what a council did to destroy the native habitat, so that children could ride bicyles anywhere in the park in the row below.

Details of what plant is used by each of the different 'egg, caterpillar, chrysalis or butterfly' unit and for how long is given in the table on the left.

 

The following is an excerpt from my Comments about the proposed destruction of the wildlife habitats at Cobtree Manor Park in the summer of 2010 from my Mission Statement page:-

"We would be sorry to lose the butterflies on the bluebells, bramble and ivy that would be restricted to only the very small area of proposed Wildlife Meadow by the Woods at the bottom of a hill with water springs on it. The wildlife is now being excluded from all the other areas by the "pruning", so that the nettles, brambles etc which had for instance the butterfly life cycle included; are now being ruthlessly removed to create a garden, not a park, with neat little areas."

When you look at the life history graphs of each of the 68 butterflies of Britain, you will see that they use plants throughout all 12 months - the information of what plant is used by the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis or butterfly is also given in the table on the left. With this proposed removal of all plants required for butterflies etc to live in and pro-create; at least once a year by the autumn or spring clearing up, you destroy the wildlife in this park as is done in every managed park in the world. Please leave something for the wildlife to live in without disturbance; rather than destroy everything so children can ride their bicycles anywhere they want when the park is open during the day and they are not at school.

Hemp (cannabis sativa) - 1% of Irelands landmass, growing hemp for fuel, would provide all the energy needs for the country each year, keeping the money with the farmers and keeping the rural economies active and this is also an environmentally friendly fuel. Hemp only has 100,000 commercial uses, so is not worth growing. 1 acre of hemp = 1,000 gallons of methanol and is cheaper to produce than petrol or diesel

 

 

The Saxifraga Foundation is a network of European nature photographers, whose aim is to stimulate and facilitate the conservation of European biodiversity. They do so by providing high-quality nature pictures free of charge.

The website free natureimages.eu is an initiative of the Saxifraga Foundation. The Saxifrage foundation is assisted by the Crossbill Guides Foundation, Dutch Butterfly Conservation (De Vlinderstichting) and Foto Fitis.

Currently, Saxifraga is working on two projects. The first one is the construction of a gallery of pictures of European plants, animals and landscapes. To download these pictures, go to the Saxifraga Gallery. With the search engine you can search for images using the scientific name or the common name of plants and animals in Dutch and English.

The second project is the creation of a collection of images of the Dutch landscape (NL in Beeld). This has been done by taking pictures in a grid in a systematic way. We have used the so called Amersfoort-coordinates, which are found on official Dutch topographic maps. The Amersfoort grid is a collection of square kilometers. To find more details visit the website of NL in Beeld. The pictures can be viewed at the Saxifraga Gallery.

Long-tailed Blue cannot survive the UK winters so not included in this table:-

longtailedbluecommentssandars1

Mazarine Blue - Once an established resident in England, extinct here since 1876. One or two have been seen since taken, doubtless stray migrants or accidentally imported from the Continent where it was widely distributed.

Monarch - Since it cannot breed in the UK, we will ignore it.
