UK and Ireland Noon today Forecast A round the U K

Atlantic front Butterfl ywatch Around the world

Every summer I read despairing

messages about the absence

of butterfl ies on buddleias.

These observations fi t my own

experience. The buddleias from

my Norfolk childhood in the

80s and 90s contained a dozen

nymphalids – brightly coloured

small tortoiseshells , peacocks and

red admirals.

For fi ve summers since returning

to rural Norfolk, my buddleias have

been mostly empty. Not this year.

Several dozen peacocks enjoyed the

plants fl owering in late July. The

peacocks retreat early to hibernate

and, by mid-August, they were

superseded by red admirals. Now, 20

painted ladies feast on the fl owers.

Scientifi c counts will not report

until the autumn but there has

been a bounty of these species

this summer. Almost absent from

my buddleias, however, has been

the small tortoiseshell, which

has suff ered a precipitous recent

decline. The puzzle of its demise

continues. What about the puzzle

of the buddleia butterfl y boom?

I feared last summer’s drought

would be disastrous but two hot

summers appear to have helped

many butterfl ies. Global heating

should boost most warmth-loving

species. Maybe, just maybe, it will.
