Wildlife watch: Red admiral butterfly
29.09.2023 - 10:59 / gardenersworld.com
The red admiral is a large butterfly with black and red wings with white spots along the tips of its forewings and blue markings at the base of its hindwings. A migrant butterfly travelling here from North Africa and continental Europe to breed in spring before the next generation returns in autumn, some red admirals now hibernate in the UK, and they emerge on mild days to feed on winter flowers. As such, they can be found feeding on garden flowers all year round.
Mating takes place throughout the year and the female lays eggs singly on leaves of common nettle, although hops, pellitory of the wall and the small nettle are also used. After hatching, the larvae use silk to join the edges of a leaf together to make themselves a little tent, in which they can hide from predators while still feeding. As they grow they move to a new leaf and make a new tent. They go though five instars, or stages, where they shed skin as they grow. Eventually they pupate into a chrysalis, hanging from or nearby their foodplant.
This year has been a bumper year for the red admiral, with the charity Butterfly Conservation reporting a 400 per cent increase in sightings over the summer. This is most likely due to the milder winters we have been experiencing with climate change, along with last year’s very hot summer.
How to help the red admiral butterflyGrow nectar-rich flowers all year round, including spring blossom such as apple and cherry, alliums, greater knapweed, buddleia, echinacea and Michaelmas daisies. Let windfall fruit, particularly apples and pears, remain where they fall.
Grow nettles and keep them well watered so they don’t shrivel up in dry weather. Cut them back in stages so there is always fresh new growth for butterflies to

Wildlife watch: Red fox
A regular visitor to our gardens, especially in urban areas, red foxes are orange-red in colour with a white throat, belly and chin, and a white-tipped tail known as a brush. Exceptional scavengers, they eat a huge variety of food, from carrion to earthworms and even berries, which is how they have become so successful at living among us. However, they’re known for taking pet rabbits and chickens and their eggs, as well as for raiding bins. This, along with digging holes, nesting under sheds and flattening plants and toppling garden ornaments when playing, can cause conflict with the people they live among.
