But I think we're both wrong...

Very funny.

Scottish Island.

I'm going to take a wild guess and go for Arran.

Nope!

Hmmm.

Guy is correct; Arran certainly doesn't have a resident Large Heath colony...

Not anymore at least.

But I think Denise may be thinking of Lewis in the Hebrides...?

Nope! According to my source it's a different island off the west coast of Scotland.
All will be revealed later.

Ok, how about Greenland?

Here's two more islands to the west of Scotland that do not have Scottish Tullia: Coll and Tiree... am I getting warm yet...?

Well done Felix.

British and Irish Butterflies by Adrian M Riley,

You are probably more up to date than me on this.

I believe that the latest (well, at least pretty fresh) opinion is there is only one species. Personally, I couldn't understand a word of the reasoning.

Large Skipper (Female).
The male was known as the streakt cloudy hog.

Spot-on Roger (and bonus points for being specific regarding gender!)

Your turn to bowl...

The Orange Tip generally lays just one egg per plant.
What is considered the reason for this?

The larvae are cannibalistic.

Rogerdodge · Post by **Rogerdodge** » Fri May 23, 2008 3:35 pm

Pete - you are, of course, correct.

Your turn I guess - perhaps another of your photo based questions?

I shall try to think up a more challenging question for the next time I get one right!

Roger

What will this larva turn into?
