In The Times Newspaper today 31.12.14:
"The butterfly in the report on winter weather (Dec 30) was a small tortoiseshell, not a red admiral as wrongly captioned. We are grateful to the many readers who pointed it out"

If I was a school teacher (which I am not), I would probably mark them down for not giving the butterfly names CAPITAL letters ! :)
