Saw an Orange Tip last Saturday flying in Redhill town Centre as I busked (sang in the street)..it lifted me and rescued me from my loneliness..for busking is a lonely profession..you wouldn't think it but it is..last time |I mentioned Orange tips on this site I was Ostrich sized for saying the P wo...

Went on a tour of the new Rowell Wood site and was bitten by a vole. A bloke next to me said "hold it by it;s tail it won't bite you"..he lied. My daughter Jazzy (watch her sing a beatles song here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf7QDImrphU) simply laughed. My own pain causes folk to rev...

Now nobody can have a go at me for saying the "P" word in here, when I along with 4 other butterfliers won the Sussex BC yearly quiz in the pub in Barcombe...and we donated the winnings to BC...we called ourselves "The Dingy Skippers"...it was magnificent. You can say well done b...

OK so I watched the David Attenborough prog on the BBC and there were loads of Monarchs in Mexico..it was on and I just said to my partner and Jasmine "I have to go there, I need to go"... What do I do? Where is it? When do I go? Do you all agree..it is a must..in a lifetime? Who cares abo...

So if chequered skipper larvae is happy to eat bog standard grass in Germany, how come it doesn't start gnoshing up UK bog standard grass and get it's corridors going down to East Sussex (it's a lot warmer and dryer than Cold and Wet Scotland!).. I wonder if certain populations of Chequered Skippers...

One of the butterlies I doubt I'll ever see is the Chequered Skipper unless I'm retired or unemployed and then I won't have the money to venture up into Scotland to catch a glimpse of the beast. But why? I see they're all over the place in mainland europe - Belgium France Switzerland..and here? ...S...

"I'm trying not to laugh but that is pretty funny Mr D. "

I do my best young Felix...attempting raise a smile in my dowdy QueenofSpainless grey universe, void of colour. Maybe there's a monarch on the horizon..actually I saw a Monarch in Florida this year..does it count?

"Ok, it could be argued that if man didn't exist, this species perhaps wouldn't have a problem, but man does exist and it is our responsibility to try to conserve threatened species in this world that we are gradually damaging, and if first we need to be able to differentiate one species from a...

Felix wrote: "The Obsever's Book of Insect Genitalia. A very useful title. I must have missed that one... " Somehow under the circumstances (Circumcisions?) I think it's best not to get me started on the subject of Genitalia young Felix. Last time I did everybody threw stones at me and acc...

I just think thank God one didn't appear *after* I'd left..how bad would that have been?

Danny

Shoulders haunched..head hung low..arms all floppy (bit like an orangutan)..whilst other butterfliers taut me, laughing and pointing at me : "Look at that pathetic little fat bloke over there, calls himself a butterfly person when he can't even spot a Queen of Spain Fritillary in his own county...

Sir Sir! (Hand waving frantically in the air) Felix is posting salacious posts again.

No. There were many eyes all searching, the weather was perfectamundo..but I was unsucessful. No lifetime tick. No emotional moment. Just a sad and worthless shadow of a man.
