When was the last time you saw a Small Tortoiseshell? This year's #BigButterflyCount saw the average number of Small Tortoiseshells counted fall by a massive 74% from the previous year, with a decline of 59% since the Count began 14 years ago. #ButterflyEmergency

We want to see a future where butterflies and moths can thrive forever and for everyone. Join our calls for the government to take urgent action today. 📢

@DJHbutterflies High above Wimbleball Lake , Exmoor in June. On a little used track, it flew down in front of me and disappeared just as fast🙄

Two days ago in the Peak District BUT only one and the only one I have seen in September

Had several in my garden and in local area

This morning, with a Peacock. This is the first in the garden for a while (SE Cornwall).

Very concerning, each year less butterflies; there used to be so many, different ones …as a child a long list of names to learn. Humans need to protect nature not destroy it. 💓🌿We must plant accordingly in order to help the butterflies.

Yesterday in my garden in Lancaster.

Seen a few this year....this was on 13th July 🦋🦋🦋

Reigate Surrey this little sweetie is virtually extinct now . It's heartbreaking that one of the most common Butterflies seen throughout the country is disappearing rapidly. People are responsible for all this damage. It's up to us to fix it 💚
