The Butterfly Effect - Purple Emperor
The Butterfly Effect - Purple Emperor takes place at Shipley Country Park in Derbyshire on 9 August as part of an end of year series of events that celebrate butterflies and moths. The event is presented by Rasselbock and is associated with a commemorative medal offered for £41.50; the listing is shown as in stock.
Shipley Country Park is described as an area with long history. The site was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has previously been the grounds of a stately home, a hunting lodge, and a coal mine. The description highlights the park's wildlife and historical context.
This edition of the series focuses on the Purple Emperor butterfly. The species is typically found in south and central England and is often observed in treetops, although it occasionally descends to ground level for sustenance. The text notes a decline in sightings in recent years and states that the Purple Emperor is rarely seen at eye level. The event material emphasizes the butterfly's vivid colours and that the design has been chosen to appear on a medal to represent the Purple Emperor within the series.
