Butterfly Conservation Ireland's TH-cam channel gives a glimpse into the intriguing lives of moths and butterflies. You will see footage of the caterpillars, pupae and adults. Through these images, you will get an insight into how remarkable and beautiful our butterflies are, a part of our heritage that we all enjoy and want to protect. Butterflies bring out the most positive of our instincts. Take a look at theirs!

The next priority is to feed and mature her eggs. During th...
Releasing Butterflies Hibernated indoors in Spring
