Its now September (officially Autumn) and it is the last month in which you can see any notable resident UK butterflies or other insects. These female Lysandra bellargus were found yesterday on the last day of Summer, on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. Below Typical female. Below. ab ceronus Esper 1784. Below. ab. krodeli Gillmer 1900.

"Its now September (officially Autumn)"...oh please don't cut summer off yet, it is so short and we still have 20 more days at least officially, but you are right it always feels like September is the beginning of Autumn.

You are right, 22 September is the start of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather in the south of England is changeable but we are getting some nice days. 22 days to get out and about to enjoy the late summer insects. Why does it go so fast and the winter seems to last forever. It is the UK meteorological autumn which starts on the 1 Sept, courtesy of our Met office.

Hello George, In the field, you need to go to localities with strong populations of Polyommatus, you will find a small percentage of aberrations or interesting forms. To purchase, you can find regularly some Lycaenidae aberrations offered here : www.collector-secret.com/insect/butterfly/aberrations/ (not many this week, but check that page in the future) Olivier

Hello Olivier,
I thank you very much! Do you know collectors who are interested in species outside Britain in Europe?
George

I am sure there must be a bit missing to the last post on this thread?
