Okay, I have been busy, hence the lack of updates.
Experts have spotted a decrease in the Tortoiseshell Butterfly (above) population. In some parts of the U.K., the numbers have dropped by 80%!
It is actually unknown why they are dieing out. It could be due to a fly called Sturmia Bella destroying the caterpillars.
The fly's first appearance was in 1999. A group has been set out to discover why the butterflies are failing, and if it is due to the Sturmia Bella.
I hope they find out and save these wonders.
Please comment.
Thank you.
