New Forest Butterflies - some other notable species

Reasonably widespread wherever a good supply of flowers is available, Red Admirals are migratory butterflies that rarely over-winter in Britain. They are typically to be seen on the wing from late-March until late-October, or even November.

In Hampshire, Marbled Whites are most often seen on areas of unimproved grassland. A small number do, though, occur in the New Forest in July and August.
