Butterflies Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Butterflies Mug by Madeleine Floyd features five of our most beautiful butterflies in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The Peacock, Fritillary, Painted Lady, Common Blue and Clouded Yellow Butterflies are delicately reproduced around the mug along with the kinds of flowers that they are usually found near. All can be regularly spotted though some of them have spectacular habits! The Clouded Yellow is famous for occasional mass immigrations (and subsequent breeding), these being known as ”Clouded Yellow Years”, the most recent of which was in 2006. There are eight UK resident species of Fritillary butterfly, though these are harder to spot as they are in decline due to loss of habitat.
The Butterflies mug by Madeleine Floyd makes an ideal gift for birthdays, house-warming and other occasions.

The Scarlet Tiger Moth Greetings Card shows an exquisitely detailed painting of this elusive insect by wildlife illustrator and author Ben Rothery. Ben’s work is inspired by nature and by traditional natural history illustration but presented with a contemporary twist.
The Scarlet Tiger Moth is found in only two locations in the UK though appears to be adapting to changing climatic conditions and inching northwards. Insects develop a variety of defence strategies; the distinctive colours of tiger moths warn predators of their toxicity by day, and various innovative acoustic alarms confuse and deter adversaries by night.
