In addition to the considerable signs of Duke of Burgundy feeding, the Murray Downland Trust trustees observed the following butterfly species on a site visit to the Heyshott Escarpment reserve on 22 July 2014:
Large White

Peacock
Comma
Silver-washed Fritillary

This may be the highest species count recorded in one afternoon on an MDT reserve. Unless you know better ...
