Reintroduction of butterfly in England a 'success'

The reintroduction of a species of butterfly that went extinct in England nearly 50 years ago has been declared a success.

The chequered skipper was always scarce, but died out in 1976 with changes to woodland management being blamed.

Makes you wonder how they did it @TallTrees.

There must have been some of the species found in Europe and they made it a conservation project?

[TallTrees]

They were brought in from Belgium @Cleoriff 

But it takes a very long time to re-establish them in a suitable habit then to get them to spread.

On hands and knees for years 😓 monitoring them, breeding, from minute egg to caterpillar,  in small tubes of grass 😂 in a field of damp meadow-land.. probably called dedication...🤔 or...madness!!

[Cleoriff]

I hope they are here to stay then after all that effort @TallTrees!!

[TallTrees]

So true @Cleoriff 

🤣🤣
