Speckled Wood Butterfly
From early spring to late autumn sunshine the Speckled Wood is out and about. You can see Speckled Woods any time from March through to October as they have multiple broods each year. The insect over winters as either a larva or pupa, almost according to choice (the only British species that does this) and so emerge in to adults as soon as the spring weather is warm enough. There is then a succession of broods, possibly four or five each year, meaning there are always Speckled Woods to be seen.
