I'd like to show my face too

Well, seeing as it's right in the front yard of the (free) Natural History Museum I'd say yes.

PS - the butterfly house is £5 for adults and £3:50 for kids.

...the human body has 629 muscles but a caterpiller has somewhere in the region of 2000?

Visited the butterfly house at the Natural History Museum in Kensington today and it was stuffed with lantana...

Hope you have a great time Guy. It's sad but I won't be in a position to join you as work has taken off with a bang and I can't get away in the foreseeable future.

I heard a report of Three-tailed Pashas down that way...

Deano,
This is the competitions section mate...you might want to start a gallery

Out looking for PEs today, a group of about 8 of us from the Herts & Middlesex branch of BC where stood under some Scots Pines. Suddenly up goes the shout "Liz (Goodyear), what's that on your leg!?" You should have seen the colour drain from her face! :lol: Ever the gentleman, I offere...

I only noticed this when I started to process the photos...this White Admiral seems to have a lump. It seemed to be bothering the insect because one thing I did notice at the time was it kept furling and unfurling it's proboscis, and it held it out in front slightly too.

What's a butterfly?

Saw at least 5 White Letter Hairstreaks today, but way up high so no photos.

If people are in an IDing frame of mind, what's this?

Starting to see lots more now...

Well done Trev (on the spotting, not the photography )
