My website, Steven Cheshire's British Butterflies, is currently undergoing a major update. This update has been delayed for several years due to my prioritising the care for my parents. Work is now progressing well, and I hope to relaunch as Steven Cheshire's British and European Butterflies at the end of 2026 or early 2027.
