I guess that's a possibility, MatsukazeMatsukaze wrote:When we visited Digne a few years ago we were very surprised to find camels grazing beside the road - it turned out that there was a circus in town. We made sure we conducted our butterfly-watching some miles away, in case they let their lions roam around in the same way.
It's not numbers that count, Wurzel - it's quality time spent with the butterflies!Wurzel wrote:37 speciesThat's only 12 away from my entire tally for 2016

Spot on! You expect greater numbers on the continent, so it's important to make the most of what time you have available.Padfield wrote:It's not numbers that count, Wurzel - it's quality time spent with the butterflies!
My thinking on this is that its excess water from taking in minerals from the mud.Wurzel wrote: Interesting shot of the 'elimination'...I'm not too sure about the physiology of butterflies but I'm guessing that they probably don't have a method of storing too much of the nectar they take in so when they take on too much I presume they have to remove the excess. Is this different to 'frass'?

If only we had sufficient elm trees to exercise that advice, Guy! ☹Finally, never walk under an elm without checking for white-letter hairstreak cats!
