Purple Emperor Butterflies are one of the most beautiful purple creatures that live in central-southern England. They love to eat aphid honeydew, tree sap and other insects. Male species occasionally descend to the ground in search of salts from roads or animal dung. The species’ population has been declining steadily since the 20th century. It is now visible in southern England. The white-ringed eyespots under the forewing of the female species are similar to those found in the White Admiral. It is a member of the Nymphalid family and has a wingspan between 75-84mm. The lengths vary from one species to another.

The Purple Emperor Butterfly, also known as Apatura Iris, is a Palearctic species of butterfly that belonged to Nymphalidae. The wingspan of males is 70-80 millimetres (2.8-3 in). They have purple-blue sheen due to iridescence. The caterpillar larvae are green with yellow and white markings. It has two large “horns” at its anterior end and one smaller at the posterior.

 

2.Purple Beetles

Purple Beetles, active predators, are known to come out at night to hunt slugs as well as other invertebrates in meadows, woodlands, and gardens.

The species’ appearance is described as having a black color with metallic-purple sheen. This sheen is found around the edges of the fused wing cases (elytra). It is also known by its name, the rain beetle. It can be found in Japan and Europe.

3.Purple Sea Snail
