@campaignerkate.bsky.social has written an excellent article on recent DPA conservation work, carried out by our #volunteers on her land at Common Wood.
Work here is aimed at improving habitat for rare #fritillary #butterflies.

Slightly odd. This is a Snakes Head Fritillary flower made up of lots of tine images of a Wild Tulip flower. The background id blurred.

If you are looking at this and scratching your head, read on.
I went through a period of "painting" over photos using some Photoshop techniques. This was slightly different in that it was dabbed using tiny versions of a wild tulip photo. The main flower is a Fritillary.
A great spangled fritillary atop a white flower. The flower is barely visible underneath the spread wings of the butterfly. The fritillary is facing left in the photo. It is a bright orange, with dark brown or black spots, lines, and crescents throughout its wings. The wings are brownish closer to its body.

Good morning! This Gulf #Fritillary caterpillar has traveled a great distance from its hatching on a passion vine to a hose bib across the yard & is now doing its “J” thing. Pretty soon, cat will be a chrysalis, & eventually a gorgeous butterfly! 🦋🪶

A photo of a field of Snake's Head Fritillaries. Fun Fact: It was also called a Leper Lily, because its shape resembled the bell once carried by lepers.
Snake's Head Fritillary Fritillaria meleagris, of the family Liliaceae. One of my favourite plant species.

Photo of a Variegated Fratillary chrysalis I spotted today. This mostly dead wildflower makes it seem like the midst of harsher weather than all the brighter flowers currently growing all around it. 🖤

Once, a young boy walked through a field with his mother. Golden grasses bent in the breeze, and wildflowers painted the earth in purples, blues, and yellows. A butterfly, its wings patterned in orange and black, dusted with silver, glowing like stained glass, settled on a purple thistle bloom. The boy caught it gently in his hands. “Mother,” he cried, “look how beautiful it is! I want to take it home, so I can always see it.” His mother knelt beside him. “If you take it home,” she said softly, “its wings will close and it will die. But if you leave it here, it will sip from flowers and help them make seeds. It will lay eggs in the trees, and one butterfly will become many. Beauty is not meant to be kept by one, it is meant to be shared.” The boy longed to keep it, but he opened his hands and the butterfly rose, circled once, and vanished into the summer sky. Ten years passed. The boy, now a teenager, saw a girl whose beauty outshone every sunset and song he had known. Her laughter was like bells, her eyes as bright as a summer morning, her hair caught the light like spun gold. His heart swelled, but he could not find words. Then he remembered what his mother said: “Beauty is not meant to be kept by one, it is meant to be shared.” So he asked her to walk with him, and they followed a narrow path that opened into the field he remembered. They walked side by side through the warm summer evening. Soon the girl found herself surrounded by acres of flowers swaying in the light, and butterflies of every hue drifting and rising like living confetti. She turned to him, her face lit with pure happiness, and smiled. Then she leaned close and kissed his cheek. At that instant, from the corner of the field, a butterfly drifted near, its wings the same glowing orange as the one he had held long ago. It circled once above their heads, caught the golden light, and he knew: beauty, once shared, never truly leaves. It only returns, multiplied, at the moment you need it most.

An orange, brown, and silver Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly on a purple Buddleja (Butterfly Bush). The background is a blur of green and brown foliage.
Petals soft and bright,
Mosaic wings soon take flight,
Sipping sunshine's light.

Photograph of an orange and brown, Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly, on purple Buddleja (Butterfly Bush). The background is a blur of other Buddleja flowers, stems, and leaves.
Sunlit wings alight,
Nobody could feel grumpy,
Beauty calms the soul.

Straightforward image of a brownish-orange butterfly hanging upside down from the bottom of its cocoon. We can see some detail on its eye and its curved tongue. Its long antenna is also evident. Sigma 105 macro on Canon 5DII. f/8, with flash.

Short trip out up north to see a few silver washed #fritillary #butterflies. No white letter hairstreaks though.
