There are between ten and twenty species of
butterflies which can be found on and around the Helsby Hill area. Some
will inevitably find their way into Harmers Wood where they will seek
food plants for larvae (caterpillars) or nectar from flowers to feed
the adult butterflies. The butterflies shown here have been photographed
in and around the area of Helsby and Helsby Hill.
