Large Tortoiseshell Nymphalis polychloros
Exceptionally difficult to obtain.
One of Europe’s grand butterflies! Now thought to be extinct in Britain. The larvae feed on a variety of fruit trees, Willow, Sallow, Elms, Aspen, Poplars and Birches. Easy to rear, particularly when sleeved on growing foodplant, but protect from excessive rain. Butterflies are produced this year. A very popular species. Please order early. Could you help establish this extinct British species in your area?
