Mixed summer weather has led to an increase in butterfly numbers in Britain, with the biggest insect count in the world recording an increase on last year’s all-time low.
The most common sighting, according to the Big Butterfly Count, was the red admiral, while the gatekeeper was the second most numerous species. They were followed by the large white, small white and holly blue.
We would like to see your pictures of butterfly sightings in recent months. Have you come across many different species?
