We went on an expertly guided trip to Northern Greece in June 2024. To see the local butterflies and birds, as well as a few moths, and any other wildlife that came into view. Of my far-too-many photos, I selected out the best and have sorted and processed into birds, butterflies, and moths. We saw more than 70 species of butterfly on the trip. Only a handful of those are seen in the UK. Although in this batch of photos Large Skipper, Meadow Brown, Ringlet, Green Hairstreak, and Brown Argus are on the British List, so the majority were knew to us with one or two exceptions.
Black-veined White, Aporia crataegi
Brown Argus, Aricia agestis
Cardinal, Argynnis Pandora
Clouded Yellow, Colias croceus
Green Hairstreak, Callophrys rubi
Large Skipper, Ochlodes sylvanus
Lesser Spotted Fritillary, Melitaea trivia
Meadow Brown, Maniola jurtina
Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui
Queen of Spain Fritillary, Issoria lathonia
Ringlet, Aphantopus hyperantus
Scarce Swallowtail, Iphiclides podalirius, aka Sail Swallowtail
Spotted Fritillary, Melitaea didyma (in copulo)
