On a warm morning I set off to the the Burren to look for rare Butterflies with hope of seeing a Marsh Fritilary or Pearl bordered Fritilary within the area of St Fiachtnan's Well at Fahee North near Carran.
Even though the weather was fine, Butterflys were scarce during the day ,all that was fluttering about were good numbers of Dew moths. I overlooked them as they proved difficult to photo. I never at the time realised that I was witnessing a small erruption of a real rare day flying Moth only found in small pockets of the burren and no where else in Ireland, making these creatures a real Burren specialty.
