An Barr Buí
Ceann de chéad fhéileacáin an earraigh, beathaíonn barra buí ar neachtar an phlanda bogaigh, an léine Mhuire. Tá leath seachtrach na gcliathán tosaigh flannbhuí ag an bhfireannach, dubh agus bán ag an mbaineannach. Bíonn boilb gníomhach ó Bhealtaine go Lúnasa, agus déanann siad codladh geimhridh ina dhiaidh sin.

One of the first spring butterflies, orange-tips feed on the nectar of lady’s smock, a wetland plant. The outer halves of the forewings are orange in the male, black and white in the female. Caterpillars are active from May to August, after which they hibernate.
