The Comma butterfly gets its name from the white marking on its underside, which looks like a comma.

The male Common Blue butterfly is blue with a brown underside with orange and white-fringed black spots.

The Gatekeeper or Hedge Brown is often found on Bramble flowers in hedgerows or on the edge of woodland, and feeds on many kinds of grasses.

The green underside of this butterfly can make it quite difficult to spot when resting. It has a chocolate-brown upperside, which is rarely seen when at rest.

Very common and often seen in flight or resting with wings closed where the single spot on an orange background on the underside of the forewing is an easy identifier.

The Orange-Tip male butterfly is unmistakeable, but the female can be mistaken for other white butterflies, unless the mottled underside is on show.

Painted Lady butterflies are visitors to Britain each year as they are unable to survive the winter here.

The Peacock butterfly cannot be mistaken for any other, with spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hind wings.

This butterfly is easily identified with its velvet black wings intersected by striking orangey-red bands.

The Small Copper is an amazing colour with shiny, coppery wings upper wings with black dots and paler colours on the underwings, the hindwing being plain and brown.

The Small Skipper really is tiny and it’s typical “Skipper” wing formation leads some to believe it is a moth. Orange/brown in colour the female lacks the black “scent streak” on the upper wings.

The Small Tortoiseshell is amongst the most well known British butterflies.

As its name suggests, the Speckled Wood can found in dappled shade of woodlands.

The Wall butterfly is named after its habit of basking on walls, stones and rocks.
