If Autumn were a butterfly 🍂🦋 The scalloped edges and cryptic colouring of the Comma's wings conceal hibernating adults amongst dead leaves, while the larvae bear close resemblance to bird droppings! Find out more on this species 👉 butrfli.es/2KCAlxp #SaveButterflies

🦋 Important news about this account.🦋 As I settled into this role I made a list of changes to make and one of them is to close this account down shortly because there is too much overlap with the @BC_Suffolk account. Sightings through the website are still very welcome.

I shall be adding another tweet or two in the next couple of days with a view of closing down at the end of the month to coincide with the end of the season (apart from occasional sightings). I want to say a big thank you for your photos, news and support. It is much appreciated.

Bristly ox tongue is a prolific weed that has now come to my knowledge as one of the best #bee friendly plants and late #butterfly going ! @BumblebeeTrust @StevenFalk1 @FWAGeast @Gameandwildlife @SuffolkRecorder @JanetHughes @DefraNature @Rothamsted_RIS

Here in the UK we live in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Nature is in crisis and urgent action must be taken to protect our environment, including butterflies, moths and their habitats. ⚠️🧵 (1/5)

I have retweeted it anyway because I am confident that it would have crossed the border into Suffolk at some point. 🦋 Lovely picture of a male Clouded Yellow. If anyone wants to see this species, hang around with Robert, he sees them every year. 😀

Please take time to read this. There is a map showing Suffolk's nature sensitive areas, none of which are now safe, it seems. They are biodiversity havens, often home to endangered species. Please read Tweet 12 also and consider letting your MP know that this is unacceptable.

@tomhunt1988 @theresecoffey this is unacceptable for Suffolk Wildlife. This decision puts our magnificent coast, heathlands and woodlands at great risk. @suffolkwildlife @SuffolkRecorder @BC_Suffolk @suffolkinsects
