That's it for this series of blog posts which has covered every species (apart from one - the cryptic wood white) using photos from the Springwatch and Summerwatch Flickr groups. A big thanks to all those who've let us use their superb photos and likewise to Butterfly Conservation's Richard Fox who's double-checked the species IDs for us.
Part one: Adonis to common blue
Part two: Dark green fritillary to holly blue
Part three: Large blue to orange tip
Part four: Painted lady to silver-washed Fritillary
Don't forget that there's still time to take part in the Big Butterfly Count, which has now been extended for another week. You have until 7 August - so get out there and help science help these beautiful creatures.
