Extremely envious of the Purple Emperor pics Neil. Not seen the butterfly yet let alone the caterpillar. I'd be visiting them daily if it was me!

Do they have aqualungs? Some of them do appear to be in quite a bit of water!
First chance propperly out in the countryside out for some weeks due to other commitments but was very pleased to se half a dozen red admirals, a peacock and a pristine Brimstone yesterday morning. Brimstones aren't that common around home at the best of times but to see one just 5 weeks before christmas was quite special. It was posing beautifully for the camera too - just need to suss out how to get a photo to a gallery somewhere and then onto this forum!

That was was incredibly easy. I like it a lot!
