Guernsey - noted as being abnormally abundant, reaching saturation point and lasting through viii. to early 

 x. 1950, the abundance was connected to an earlier sighting on 8.vi. 1950 by Mr L. Stevens, a Jersey 

 yachtsman, who, when sailing near Le Chausset (Chausey), encountered a vast swarm at sea moving in 

 a N.E. direction across the Bay, he estimated that millions of butterflies must have been involved and 

 was described as like a snowstorm stretching for 2 miles. The swarm was flying close to the water and 

 it was observed that other insects were involved, dragonflies, bees, beetles and small Diptera which 

 settled all over the yacht. The sighting occurred between 4 and 5pm (B.S.T.) and the weather was close 

 and thundery, a heavy thunderstorm occurred on the following day. The abundance of brassicae 

 attracted public attention in the local Press as there was also much damage to cabbage crops. C.J.
