A species of butterfly which is thought to have died out in England more than 60 years ago is showing signs of breeding in Kent.

The large tortoiseshell butterfly was common in the UK but disappeared in the 1960s, possibly because of Dutch elm disease, although scientists have been unable to confirm this.

Now they are making a comeback, with more than 30 spotted in a Kent woodland this year.

    Yeah I agree, I just think it’s funny that reports like this come out on the back off damming reports.

    Almost like someone paid to have this made to confuse the argument
