A very rare butterfly – the Black Hairstreak – has been discovered by volunteers from The Parks Trust in Howe Park wood , where it had been feared extinct.
This small butterfly is one of the rarest in the UK being found at only 70 sites over a very small range between Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire! It is brown in colo...ur with orange/red edges, with a distinctive row of black spots on its underwings, a white streak and a small tail. It loves to live high up making it difficult to spot.
If you'd like to survey for butterflies and other wildlife contact Martin Kincaid our volunteers co-ordinator on 01908 233600Read more
