Objective: find some butterflies. You ready Archie?
'You betcha!'
Great, can you see any in there?
'I found one!'
No, no, no, that's a Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar. You don't want to get too close to that, it will become the most poisonous moth in Britain.
'Oh, um, ok.'
Keep looking though, there's bound to be some here.
'I see one, I see one!'
Sorry, Archie, that's a Longhorn Beetle. Good try. Keep very still and quiet, one might land near us.
'There!'
Beautiful Archie - a Gatekeeper.
Another one!
A Speckled Wood, now you've got your eye in.
What is it, Archie, what have you seen?
A Red Admiral? Where?
