The Painted Lady butterfly carries out the most incredible migration to Ireland each year.  In early summer it travels all the way from the fringes of the Moroccan desert, through mainland Europe, across the Irish sea until it finally reaches Ireland.  With its tiny wingspan of 2 inches it covers up to 2000km in as little as a month.

Until recently, it was thought that the Painted Lady migration  was a one-way migration to Ireland . However, it has just been discovered that Irish born Painted Ladies make the return journey to Africa, flying at high altitudes which previously went undetected. This ensures Morocco has enough butterflies to send our way the following summer.
