Description
the butterfly has historically been linked with the traditional practice of woodland coppicing, giving it the nickname of the 'woodman's follower' as it follows the cycle of cutting around a wood. the heath fritillary is distinguished by its dusky wing colours. it is restricted to a few specialised habitats where it flies close to the ground with characteristic flits and glides. sadly it is now one of our rarest butterflies but has been saved from the brink of extinction by the concerted action of conservationists.
