#pearl-bordered fritillary

[hellsitegenetics]

just wanna say i love the contrast between this blog and @hellsite-proteins. Here the results are always a lovely surprise! Whether a post is an obscure bacteria or a creature amusingly related to its post, it's always a treat to see what kind of funny little thing a post may be. In contrast, hellsite-proteins' results almost always have a chaotic tone to them (affectionate). Unnecessarily long and stringy loops everywhere. i cheer when a protein is actually, confidently functional. the differing moods of each blog is amusing

Butterflies and moths of Doriath

Flora, fauna, geography and environment Masterlist

As always I included world building notes at the bottom so it’s not just a list of species

There are hundreds of species of butterflies found throughout the region of Doriath. Though Tolkien abandoned the idea that butterflies, all originated in the Nan Tathren, which was written in the book of lost tales, I do like to headcanon that this remained a legend or folktale in universe

Note: there are so many species of insects, this unfortunately cannot be a complete list

Primarily Neldoreth: orange tip (outskirts), elm autumn moth, Aglia tau, silver washed fritillary, dotted border moth, brown tail moth, comma butterfly

Primarily Nivrim: Checkered skipper, purple hairstreak (found in Region too), green hair streak, large copper, white prominent moth, purple emperor, large tortoiseshell

Primarily Region: Holly blue, northern blue, oak lantern moth, bird cherry ermine moth, blotched emerald moth

Throughout Doriath: ghost moth, wood white, cranberry blue, green longhorn moth, Luna moth, peacock butterfly, ghost moth, lilac leafminer moth, paper moth, white Pearl moth, red admiral, Heath fritillary, light emerald moth

Forest edges and clearings: short tailed blue, pea blue, purple edged copper, small copper, speckled wood, green hairstreak, wal brown, scarce swallowtail, clouded Apollo, blue spot hairstreak, twin spot fritillary, Julia,

World building notes

-Butterflies and moths, as a whole are associated among the Sindar with transformation and cycles of life as they are in many cultures. They are also symbols of abundance, color and precision/agility. Different species and varieties will have more specific connotations, however

-Arthórien has rare, even rainforest butterflies due to the difference in temperature and rainfall. I will make a separate post for its butterflies!

-The gardens of Menengroth also have several species of rare butterflies not found elsewhere in Doriath. These are nurtured by Melian’s power.

-ghost moths are associated with spring and summer for their bright colors and emergence in warmer weather. Insects and flora have had a large influence on color and pigmentation in Sindarin practices, both as inspiration and material.

There are even practices of safely collecting the dust and pollen that collect on the wings and legs of insects; it is immensely time consuming and precise.

-Orange tips can be found on the sigils of certain Doriath nobles. Their image is sometimes used in Doriathrim fashion, especially in jewel and hair pieces made from wood or metal. Alder bark is typically used to create the orange color

It was from these species among others that pollination was originally studied by the Sindar of Doriath.

-The purple hairstreak is associated with twilight and the darker reaches of the forest. This is primarily for its color as like most species of its family, they tend to emerge mainly on sunny days. They feed mostly on oak trees. The name for this species in Ilkorin translates to butterfly of twilight.

Their almost shadow like appearance in flight makes them a favorite for artists who make prints and illustrate naturalist work!

-Wood whites are often associated with niphredil both for their color and their habitat.

Note: I always imagine Niënor wearing a hair piece or embroidery with this species during her time in Doriath

-Luna moths are highly associated with Melian and with Lórien. They symbolize night, dream, and desire and appear as motifs in a lot of later Sindar poetry and art

Exploring the History and Wildlife of Beacon Hill Country Park near Loughborough

Beacon Hill Country Park is a beautiful natural space located just outside Loughborough, Leicestershire. The park covers an area of over 135 hectares and is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. In this article, we will explore the history and wildlife of Beacon Hill Country Park, and why it is such a unique and special place to visit.

The history of Beacon Hill Country Park outside Loughborough is as rich and varied as the landscape itself. The park is situated on an ancient hillfort, which dates back to the Iron Age. The site was then used by the Romans as a signal station, where soldiers would light fires to warn of any impending attacks. The hill was also used as a beacon during the English Civil War, and during the 19th century, it became a popular destination for tourists, who would climb the hill to enjoy the panoramic views.

Today, Beacon Hill Country Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including some rare and endangered species. The park is particularly known for its birdlife, with over 40 different species having been recorded there. The bird species that can be spotted in the park include woodpeckers, nuthatches, treecreepers, and several species of owl. There are also a number of bird boxes placed throughout the park, which provide important nesting sites for the birds.

The park is also home to a variety of mammals, including badgers, foxes, and deer. The deer population in the park is particularly notable, with both roe and fallow deer being present. Visitors can often spot the deer grazing in the fields, or catching glimpses of them as they move through the trees. There are also several species of bat that can be found in the park, including the rare barbastelle bat, which is a protected species in the UK.

In addition to its rich wildlife, Beacon Hill Country Park is also home to a number of historic sites and features. The hillfort itself is a major feature of the park, and visitors can explore the remains of the fortifications and learn about the history of the site. There are also several old quarries in the park, which are a testament to the area's industrial heritage. The quarries were used to extract the famous Mountsorrel granite, which was used to build some of the country's most famous landmarks, including the London Bridge.

One of the most popular features of the park is the Old John Tower, which sits atop the hill and is a popular landmark for miles around. The tower was built in the 18th century as a folly, and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The tower is a popular destination for visitors, who climb the steep steps to the top to enjoy the panoramic views.

The park also offers a range of different activities for visitors to enjoy. There are several walking and cycling trails that wind through the park, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The park also offers a range of different events throughout the year, including guided walks, nature trails, and educational workshops.

Perhaps one of the most notable things about Beacon Hill Country Park is its location. The park is situated in the heart of the Charnwood Forest, which is one of the most important areas of ancient woodland in the country. The forest is a unique and special place, with a rich diversity of plant and animal life. It is home to several rare and endangered species, including the pearl-bordered fritillary butterfly and the black hairstreak butterfly.

In conclusion, Beacon Hill Country Park is a unique and special place that offers a rich history and a diverse range of wildlife. The park is a wonderful destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of different activities and events throughout the year.

Pearl-Bordered Fritillary Pearl-Bordered Fritillary Butterflies On Mt. Lemmon (07/08/13) -- Image by kenne I'm posting this Image from July 2013, because of the Bighorn Fire, it's not likely to see them this summer on Mt. Lemmon. -- kenne

How well do any of us really know our favourite places? Even though we might have visited them dozens or perhaps even hundreds of times, we tend to follow the same paths, the same routes, and perhaps therefore miss entirely new experiences just a stone's throw away.

A case in point today. I went up Norman's Law, one of my favourite wee hills in Fife, but instead of just milling about the summit and then heading back (like I usually do) I carried on walking over the back of the hill, through a field and into a scots pine forest. To my surprise I found what must be the least coastal section of the Fife Coastal Path....winding its way through a beautifully green and verdant woodland. I explored for a bit, before opting to follow the path back in the general direction of Luthrie (where I'd parked the car). All new ground for me because like I say I normally just head straight back down the hill path to Luthrie.

Anyway, as I was walking along I failed to notice a red squirrel sat on a very bouncy branch in front of me. I only noticed it as it was leaping across the path, completely airborne, just feet away from me. Took my heart a wee while to recover from that! A few steps later and there was a beautiful pearl-bordered fritillary fluttering about, and peculiar wee sawflies sitting on the nettle leaves.

Once down at the Creich road I walked along the very quiet lane, and kept hearing a weird rasping call I couldn't quite place. Turns out it was a pair of whitethroats...which isn't a bird I've encountered very often, if at all. But as I walked further down the lane, that odd call rang out for the entire duration. Loads of whitethroats, loads of yellowhammers singing their 'bread and cheese' thing, and all the while with the very beautiful Creich church in the distance. Add to that an unexpected ruin to explore, and the fact that because of roadworks the lane was closed to traffic.....so was VERY peaceful....and it all adds up to a lovely afternoon!

If I'd descended down the normal route, the one I'd walked up via, I'd still have had a lovely afternoon.....but my walk was instead turned into something of a minor revelation as I found new places and new sights I never even knew were there. It's good to get off your well beaten track sometimes :)

14/05/2023-Bentley Wood 

Pictures taken here today are of: 1, 2, 8 and 9. Beautiful views on a really sunny part of another fine day including a glorious bluebell carpet in the woods and bright emerald hues. 3. A pretty tormentil. 4. A purple looking wood anemone, I’d never seen them that colour before so this was interesting to learn. 5 and 10. My first Tree Pipit of the year. It was an honour to be alerted by some of a few great people we met today of them singing then see possibly two of these birds evocative of exotic climes I always think, amazing birds to witness. I felt so very lucky to see one at Bentley Wood for a second year running and it’s a special bird as my 199th species of the year and it makes 2023 only the second year I’ve ever seen four pipit species after 2018. This feels fantastic. 6. A leaf beetle. 7. One of my first Broad-bodied Chasers of the year, with two or three females of this species seen it marked a brilliant spring moment as my first dragonfly seen this year. It always excites me to see these they are one of my favourite dragonflies and this area by the ponds is a good spot for them.

In the fabled eastern clearing where we saw the Tree Pipits we also chased across the grass several orange gems, our main target today, Pearl-bordered Fritillaries a very welcome sixteenth butterfly species of the year so far for me. Seeing them further up in the woods too it was a thrill, always a warm butterfly moment in my spring. The stage was shared with another dazzling orangey insect, several beautiful Speckled Yellow moths which I thoroughly enjoyed seeing. Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Brimstone, Green-veined White, Speckled Wood and Grizzled Skipper were other highlights in a very healthy number of butterflies seen today, and another top exotic feeling bird was a delight to hear and see well, a Willow Warbler. Hearing a loud Cuckoo and seeing Chiffchaff, Jay, Large Red Damselflies, spiders, bees including at a hive in a tree, my first Swollen-thighed beetle of the spring and snipe fly again were other highlights here. It was also good to see my first yellow pimpernel of the year one I saw here last year, greater stitchwort, bugle, bright spurge, herb-Robert, wild strawberry, speedwell, yellow iris and garlic mustard in the way flowers on a lovely walk.

"Beurre Volant?"

“Beurre Volant?”

queried a French boyfriend in 1966 when I was trying to teach him some English — that is probably when I first realized what a peculiar language we do speak! These are the butterflies we have seen in Wales recently, they are called, in Welsh gloyn byw, living glove — not much more sensible!

It has been a warmer, sunnier spring and early summer this year and we seem to have seen more blues…
