To get 75% of the species wrong though is Premier League incompetence.
I think a 25% success rate is pretty good compared to that of Premier League footballers capitalising on goal-scoring opportunities...
Back to the point: fact-checking doesn't seem to be a journalistic strongpoint these days unfortunately. When you are in the lucky position of actually
knowing exactly what's correct, you find that almost any given news item is riddled with misconception, inaccuracy and worse.
It's also noticeable that a run through of Google images on any randomly selected butterfly almost always brings up a selection of photos of the wrong species lurking amongst what's offered.
