Brimstone; Gonepteryx; rhamni

Warm sunny days in early March brings the Brimstone out from hibernation but since it is such a long-lived species butterflies may be seen throughout the year even though there is only one brood per year. The bright rich yellow of the male Brimstone butterfly cannot be confused with any other butterfly. The female however is a very pale yellow almost white in colour and can be confused at a distance for a Large White. The distinctive shape of the Brimstone and the intricate veining of the wings make it a remarkably beautiful and graceful butterfly.

The brimstone is a fairly large, pale yellow butterfly, with distinctive, leaf-shaped wings. Adults hibernate through cold weather, so may be seen flying on warm days throughout the year, although they are most common in the spring.
