Pole cat & the Wood white (Leptidea sinapis)- Endangered.

Devon is an important national stronghold for this beautiful dainty butterfly, one that is declining nationally. In Devon there are a few strong colonies situated at Meeth Quarry nature reserve, Cookworthy Forest, and the Undercliffs of the East Devon coast – here the butterflies use a habitat unlike any other in the UK.

As of recent years, polecats are starting to recolonize Devon, with an increasing number of
sightings and records of hybrids. It's thought that polecats went extinct in Devon between 1880 and 1915 due to persecution by Victorian gamekeepers.
