Butterflies in the UK

Beautiful butterflies can be found throughout the United Kingdom. These delicate creatures are a common sight in gardens, meadows, and woodlands across the country.

The UK is home to over 59 species of butterfly, ranging from the common Small White to the rare Large Blue.

Butterflies play an important role in the UK’s natural environment, as they are a major pollinator of flowers and other plants. They are also important indicators of the health of ecosystems, as their populations can be affected by changes in climate, habitat loss, and pollution. All of these factors make butterflies an important part of the UK’s biodiverse landscape.
