Despite this Butterfly being named after its appearance the Marbled White is more closely related to the subfamily known as the “browns” rather than “whites”. It is unmistakable, its black and white markings distinguishing it from other species found in the UK. It favours unimproved grassland where the grass may grow up to 0.5m tall. It is often found in large colonies. There are large numbers in our local fields which have been uncultivated for many years.

Such a beautiful butterfly. I like the pattern on both sides of its wings.

They are one of my top Butterflies Peggy- simple pattern and colour and they fill the air when there are good numbers about.

Beautiful butterfly and great shots Andy! Never seen these guys before. I do not think they flutter in our country?

What a lovely study. Butterflies are not easy models, either. They are super-sensitive to any shadow.
