Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
The Gatekeeper, also known as the Hedge Brown, is a golden butterfly that provides a welcome sight in the middle of summer, when the fresh adults start to emerge. This butterfly spends much of its time basking with wings open, when the sexes are easy to tell apart - only the male has the distinctive sex brands on the forewings. This butterfly is found throughout most of England, Wales and the south of Ireland, being common in the south of its range, becoming scarcer further north. The habitat it requires is found over most of the British Isles, and so we can only assume that the restriction to its range is governed primarily by climate. Colonies vary greatly in size, depending on the available habitat, ranging from a few dozen individuals to several thousand. |
