If you are read our Butterfly Information sign on the Loop you will know we are lucky to have Green Hairstreak among us.

Green Hairstreak is quite small and difficult to see. It is well camouflaged among green leaves and other shrubs.

The upperside is brown but at rest the butterfly always keeps its wings closed.

It has a very attractive vibrant metallic green sheen so it is a little easier to spot in the sunshine these days.

Flight time is April May and June.
