A few species of moth also ‘migrate’ in large numbers, but this generally occurs at night and at high altitude. So, is not often reported.

“We anticipate that the migration will continue for another two or three weeks, although stragglers may be seen for several weeks after.” For those tempted to catch theses butterflies and keep them or attack them, Dobson advises against it as the butterflies are not agricultural pests. “The butterflies are not agricultural pests and there is no reason for anyone to attack them. Having said that, there are billions flying at the moment. So, if one or two are killed by cars or trucks, it won’t make any significant difference.”
