Butterfly Bagger
The Scots Magazine
|August 2017
After the Munros John found a new quest.
JOHN GREEN has spent a lifetime climbing mountains all over the globe but the completion of his latest quest gave him one of his biggest thrills yet.
A member of The Munro Society – he completed the Munros in 1988 – John (71) from Morley in Derbyshire, is one of a handful of people to have seen every species of butterfly in the UK.
There are 58 different types, 59 including the Cryptic Wood White which lives in Ireland. One is unique to Scotland, the Chequered Skipper. It is found along Loch Arkaig and in Glasdrum Woods by Loch Creran, and there is a new population at the top of Glen Coe.
