Dipsacaceae, also known as the teasel family, is a group of flowering plants that includes some stunning species found in various parts of the world. One such species is the Devil's-bit scabious (Succisa pratensis), which can be spotted in the picturesque Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, UK during September. Its vibrant purple flowers create a beautiful contrast against the green landscape. In late summer, this enchanting flower can also be found in Norfolk, England. The Devil's-bit scabious attracts attention not only from nature enthusiasts but also from Clouded yellow butterflies (Colias crocea) who find nourishment on its nectar-filled blooms. It's a delightful sight to witness these colorful creatures fluttering around and feasting on this exquisite plant. But Dipsacaceae doesn't stop there; it offers more visual treats for our eyes to behold. Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis) serves as another source of sustenance for Peacock butterflies (Inachis io). These majestic insects gracefully hover over the delicate petals while extracting their much-needed energy. The beauty of Dipsacus fullonum or Teasel cannot go unnoticed either. In February, Goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis) take advantage of its seed-filled heads as they feast upon them with delight. Sometimes even squabbles arise between two Goldfinches fighting over Common teasel seeds - a spectacle that showcases both competition and survival instincts within nature. Mating pairs of chalkhill blue butterflies (Lysandra coridon) prefer resting with their wings closed on Scabious flowers during moments of intimacy and tranquility. This behavior adds an element of tenderness to their already captivating presence. Not limited to just butterflies, Meadow Brown Butterflies (Maniola jurtina) are often seen sipping nectar from Scabiosa flowers along North Downs - creating a harmonious dance between insect and flora.
