15. Green Hairstreak Traditional Cache

The Butterflies series is a circular 6.5 mile walk starting and finishing at Tur Langton. Many of the butterflies named in the series can be seen in the countryside around Tur Langton.

Please see #1 for main description of the walk.

The Green Hairstreak is easily overlooked due to its colouration. The upper sides of its wings are brown but this is rarely seen since this little butterfly always closes its wings when not in flight. The green undersides are a vivid iridescent metallic green often edged in tan brown with white spots forming a feint white 'streak' on the hind wings. This species has the widest range of foodplants of any British species, which includes Bilberry, Bird's-foot Trefoil, Broom, Common Rock-rose, Dogwood, Bramble and Gorse.
