Re: Daily Quiz
My CD of Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream has butterflies all over the cover. Now I see why - the play is full of butterflies!!
We've exhausted Lysander, Titania, Bottom the Weaver... What about Helena, as in Cyaniris (semiargus) helena?
Guy
Oh yes - and Hippolyte - just seen your post, Roger!!

Re: Daily Quiz
Keeping on the same theme, both these butterflies appear in the titles of (different) Shakespeare plays. You have to give me the names of the plays...

This is Darius' Tomb. He was the father of Xerxes.
Thus are we looking for Ataxerxes - NBA?

Re: Daily Quiz
White admiral...
You can see who watches Countdown!
But as church pianist I have to zoom now. If that was right, and if no one else overlaps with my answer, I throw the ball back to you, Roger.
