Butterflies & moths to look for in July — Marbled White Butterfly

Marbled Whites (Melanargia galathea) are the only butterflies in the UK with these striking black and white markings, so are hard to mistake for anything else. The main difference between male and females is that the females have a slight brown tinge to the undersides of their wings. They are found mainly in southern England & Wales and are scarce everywhere else, but they have been spreading northwards in the last twenty years, perhaps due to global warming.
