This attractive butterfly was not so long ago regarded as one of Britain's most familiar and common butterflies, but in recent years has shown signs of decline.

Recent evidence also suggests that common wasps are major predators of the larvae, and it is likely that in years when wasps are abundant the numbers are greatly depleted. The name of this butterfly is derived from the pattern on the underside of the wings, which is described to resemble that of a tortoise shell. The scientific name, urticae, refers to the stinging nettles on which the caterpillar > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1397437 feeds. |
