Butterfly city blooms in shadow of office blocks

Core point

A 'butterfly city' has been established in Hull, where ten species of butterflies have been spotted in a mini meadow. The meadow was created on a site owned by the Land Registry to promote biodiversity. Sean Clough from Hull Butterfly City noted that the small skipper butterfly has been breeding there, which is rare for an urban area. The project aims to encourage the growth of plants that cater to both butterflies and other wildlife.
