Atlantic front Butterfl ywatch Around the world
Every July in the 1980s, my dad and
I visited Foxley Wood , an ancient
Norfolk woodland close to my home.
We were searching for the purple
emperor , an iridescent , treetop-
dwelling insect that inspires more
obsession than any other butterfl y.
Last seen in Norfolk in the early
1970s, it fell extinct because Foxley,
like many ancient woodlands, was
turned over to conifers after the war.
We hoped this notoriously elusive
creature survived but, if it did, it
always eluded us.
This year the emperor is back
in Foxley. It has returned to many
Norfolk woods, as revealed by two
brilliant devotees, Liz Goodyear
and Andrew Middleton. While I was
enjoying this spectacular butterfl y’s
lightning forays over high oaks, I met
a man who last saw the emperor in
Foxley in 1971 and feared he would
never see it again.
The emperor is marching
northwards across Britain. Climate
change is helping, as is the spread
of sallow trees , its caterpillars’
food plant. But certain obsessives
have also quietly bred and released
hundreds of emperors, particularly
in Suff olk. Conservationists say such
releases are irresponsible and mess
with scientifi c data. I’m now not so
sure. We need all the joy we can get
in today’s world. Patrick BarkhamSunny intervalsOvercast/dullMostly cloudySunny and heavy showersSunny showersThundery rainThundery showersowersTemperature,
