A handful of personal butterfly highlights from the glorious Butterflies of the European Arctic tour I co-led for @mariposanature.bsky.social with my Team Mariposa co-leader and good friend @selbypaul.bsky.social this year. It's *such* a special butterfly-watching destination. #butterflies

Tour update 🚨 A booking overnight for Orchids of Sicily means that one is off the mark. Just three more bookings will move it to guaranteed departure status, and a guaranteed donation to support @bsbibotany.bsky.social's great botanical conservation work. www.mariposanature.com/tours/botani...

New tour alert 🚨 Yesterday we launched Among the Dragonflies & Damselflies of Sicily for 2027, led by Andrea Corso. It quickly sold out, so we put on dates for 2028. And that tour filled too! We're delighted Andrea can do a second week in 2028 - here it is: www.mariposanature.com/tours/wildli...
