Hairstreaks

Four species of Hairstreak occur in our region.

Some of these are elusive and not often seen by chance, such as White-letter Hairstreak.

These species are characterised by a white line on the underwings, reduced to dots in the Green Hairstreak.

Below you will find links to the individual species pages on the Butterfly Conservation website. We will in the future be adding additional pages with local information for each species - so please return sometime.
