More Great Information on Butterflies Garden:
Wings of change: How butterflies give vital clues to the state of the ecosystem
Butterflies herald the return of spring sunshine and long summer days. There can be few more welcome visitors to the garden than a flamboyant red admiral or peacock, clinging sated to a buddleia bush or fluttering energetically over the lawn. A cloud of blues almost underfoot on a downland walk is a quintessential mid-summer sight. And these beautiful insects are also key indicators of a healthy ecosystem.
Butterflies are particularly sensitive to climate change, pollution and habitat loss, explains Dr Martin Warren, chief executive of Butterfly Conservation, the UK charity dedicated to butterflies, moths and their habitats. "Butterflies have annual lifecycles, they make the transformation from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to adult every year. Their populations can build up or decline very quickly, which makes them far more responsive than plants or birds."
Butterflies also need the right conditions every year to thrive; if a bird fails to breed one year, it will have another opportunity the next, but for butterflies there is no second chance.
Butterflies can be loosely classified into two types: habitat specialists that rely on one very specific set of conditions, such as chalk grasslands, and generalists that are far more mobile. The two types are faring very differently as the climate warms up. "The generalists are doing very well and the specialists are doing very badly," says Dr Warren. "The generalists by and large have benefited from climate change and their food plants, such as nettles, are thriving. These species are at least maintaining their profiles, and even increasing; the peacock was rare in Scotland 50 years ago and is now common."
The specialist species, however, are struggling. While opportunistic generalists are steadily spreading north, chasing warmer weather, specialists can't follow because there are no suitable habitats. "You would expect the specialists to do well as the climate gets warmer, but they don't. Their habitat problems are so big that they override any benefit. My hypothesis is that the current decline would be even worse without climate change," says Dr Warren. Habitat losses include 60 per cent of chalk grasslands, 97 per cent of unimproved hay meadows and 50 per cent of ancient woodlands since World War II.
Another reason why butterflies are ecologically important is the large amount of accurate data that exists about them, collected by Butterfly Conservation. "Insects make up three-quarters of all [animal] species, but most of them we know very little about," says Dr Warren. "Most conservation strategies are based around birds and plants, but butterflies are a window on the world of insects."
Butterfly Conservation's database is founded on five million reports from volunteers. "We have hard data to back up what we say and it is used by researchers all over the world, particularly in relation to modelling climate change," says Dr Warren.
Butterflies, he says, are declining more rapidly than plants or birds and any attempt to stem this must rely on more sensitive agricultural practices and land management. "Farmers and landowners are key and many are embracing schemes such as environmental stewardship. The choice we are facing is to maintain practices that are sympathetic or to lose whole species: there is no middle way."
The National Trust is a major player in conservation and recognises butterflies' role as canary in the coalmine. "They are hypersensitive to changes in the weather and can speak massively to us about how these are affecting nature generally," says Matthew Oates, the National Trust's butterfly expert. "They are brilliant thermometers and an early warning system, not least because the science is there in the Butterfly Conservation databases."
One of the most important strategies, he explains, is battling against fragmentation of butterfly colonies. "You can't conserve much on pocket-handkerchief-sized nature reserves. Small populations are vulnerable. What's needed are whole-landscape projects and the National Trust owns huge tracts of land with connectivity, so it is able to deliver these."
The trust, he adds, is also able to influence land use and develop butterfly-friendly practices: appropriate grazing patterns, tree cutting and the control of invasive species such as bracken. "Butterflies are one of our top priorities and there is an awful lot we can do. Our focus to date has been on saving rare species and trying to arrest declines. Sadly, though, we sometimes have to recognise lost causes; we are also committed to sustainability."
A successful collaboration between the National Trust and Butterfly Conservation has resulted in the saving of Exmoor's heath fritillaries, which were only discovered 20 years ago. A thriving population crashed in the 1990s, due to the collapse of traditional grazing patterns and the encroachment of gorse and bracken. "Butterfly Conservation provided the science and we took care of the practical side," recalls Oates. "We had to burn vegetation on the steep coombs and use herbicide on the bracken, although we didn't want to do that. But we turned that population around."
Despite success stories such as these, many of our native butterfly species remain susceptible to changing conditions. Beatrix Potter's butterfly, the mountain ringlet, lives high on the Lake District fells and flies for a short period in midsummer. "It may be very vulnerable to climate change," warns Oates. "As the climate warms up it will move up the mountains - until it reaches the top and has nowhere else to go."
