With fewer butterflies flapping their wings I guess the numerical

I'm sorry, I don't know enough about butterflies to be serious about
this.

Does one need to know a lot about a subject in order to take it seriously?

Seen plenty of orange tips, some large and small whites, red admirals, speckled woods and a peacock, but nothing else yet. I'd agree with the consensus that the winter has made inroads into the butterfly population. Given a decent summer, allowing several broods to hatch and they'll hopefully recover. Big crossed fingers on that one, as recording butterflies is an interest.
