CHANGES IN BUTTERFLY DISTRIBUTIONS IN LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE
Thanks to the co-operation of the Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire and Lake District butterfly recorders, Barry Shaw, Rupert Adams, Laura Sivell, Kenneth Orpe and Stuart Colgate, I have been able to produce maps showing all the available records for each species of butterfly in Watsonian vice-counties VC58, 59, 60 and the Furness part of 69 - i.e. the whole of the traditional (historic) counties of Lancashire and Cheshire Maps for each of the three periods 1990-1999, 2000-2009 and 2010-2019 are included in the 2020 book - see above.
Here are links to updated distribution maps covering, for each species, 2000-2009 (10 years), 2010-2019 (10 years) and 2020-2022 (3 years):
Nymphalidae (Limentinae, Nymphalinae partim)
Nymphalidae (Nymphalinae partim, Heliconiinae, Melitaeinae)
Nymphalidae (Satyrinae, Danainae)
