In a heartwarming turn of events, the Northern Brown Argus butterfly has made a triumphant return to Scotland’s Ochil Hills after a 100-year absence. Previously believed extinct due to habitat loss, a dedicated volunteer from Butterfly Conservation discovered the species in her own Blairlogie garden near Stirling.
Further exploration unveiled small colonies of this majestic butterfly on a nearby hillside, where they are now confirmed to be breeding. This extraordinary resurgence is a testament to nature’s resilience and our commitment to protecting this precious species.
