Insight into Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi): flying between April and June, these small butterflies are found throughout the UK. They have a wide range of habitats and food plants although Common Bird’s-foot-trefoil is a primary food source for both the larvae and adults.
It hibernates as a pupa unlike all the other British hairstreaks which hibernate as eggs.
