We are moving to France in 2 weeks, 04 region, near Dignes les Baines, where there is a fantastic butterfly garden, lots of species and dedicated butterfly people. We will go to see them and offer our services and hopefully have some involvement with photos, conservation etc. We have been taking photos of butterflies for a couple of years now and have quite an extensive album, some we haven't been able to identify yet. I was in the Gorge du Trevan last week and found some small blues, whites and loads of orange tips. Also, found a few trails of catterpillars about 1/2 metre long ambling up the path.  Never seen that before.  Looking forward to the summer.    Report

Have a look at this thread http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1188856/ShowPost.aspx . Interesting little perishers!!! We have been seeing quite a few brimstone yellows along the Canal du Midi reciently. Such a lovely sight. John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report
