This time last year I was redeployed to Antrim hospital #covid The grounds were awash with this beauty,Cuckoo flower. This plant feeds the caterpillars of the Orangetip butterfly @NHSCTrust but only if it isn't all mowed away. #covid taught us there are other options.#dontmow

The moment when you finally glimpse a butterfly you've been searching for. For a second you doubt yourself. The joy that runs through your body when you see not just one brown hairstreak butterfly, but a few. (female: left, bottom right; male: top right) Rosscahill Galway 1st Aug
ALT brown hairstreak butterfly, female underside. Warm shades of orange, amber and umber. two little tails. antennae are like stripey socks, black and white, with orange tip to top of antennae.
