Hi Goldie M,
Regarding the Male Purple Emperors, I think there are two different options:
Look up (without treading in it) for a period of approx. 1 month or
Look down near the ground (without treading on it) for a period of about 1 week near the beginning of the flight period. Apparently (as was the case last year), if you watch the end of Neil's shoe carefully or take his advice, I guess you are unlikely to miss them

It is very mild at the moment and if the mild weather continues through the spring (which it might not) or if it gets very cold, pre-booking your holiday may miss this spectacle by a week or two.
It is my cousins 50th birthday coming up and I am just about to post him a Birthday Card (I hope you don't mind this scan, Goldie M?)
Has anyone got a "Purple Emperor Drone" that doesn't get stuck in trees or cut the butterflies when the drone is chased ?
