butterfly recorded from Epping Forest, about 85% of those on the British list. An appraisal of records
from the last ten years reveals a list of not less than 29 species (about 50% of the total recorded in
Britain) found in the Forest. Given that the Forest covers an area of some 6,000 acres and has a wide
range of habitats - neutral grassland, acid grassland, wet heath, coppiced woodland and areas of pollard
trees, as well as green lanes and secondary woodland - the list of recently recorded butterflies is
particularly poor. The decline in butterfly species is not confined to the Forest. With few exceptions
it has been noted all over southern and eastern England. The New Forest once famed for its myriads
