Global heating helps bring UK's newest butterfly in from Europe

The Guardian

|

August 09, 2025

Britain has a new species of butterfly: the southern small white has continued its rapid colonisation of northern Europe by flying across the North Sea.

- Patrick Barkham

The species looks very similar to the native small, large and green-veined whites but two individuals spotted in County Durham and Suffolk this summer have been verified as Pieris mannii, which was once confined to southern Europe. Assisted by global heating, the southern small white has made rapid progress across Europe since it was first spotted north of the Alps in France and Germany in 2008. It reached the Netherlands in 2015 and was seen near Calais four years later.
