Please can anyone help with a description or picture of the Starcross Butterfly?
The endangered butterfly known locally as the Starcross Butterfly thrived in apple orchards. When the orchard in Staplake Road was grubbed up, the Starcross Butterfly wasn't so common.The Devon Wildlife Trust don't have a record of a butterfly of this name, but the White Admiral is one of the endangered local species. DWT have kindly sent information about the White Admiral.
Limenitis camilla It's black and white on the topside; orange, black and white underneath.
What an admirable subject for a mosaic.
