I'm somehow hoping to see Gread Banded Grayling finally in my village.
Most recently, he's been seen 25 km west by south. So, maybe some viable female will go for a trip...
Only Large Coppers and Red Army were more capable colonizers of the region

You were fortunate to have such a great leader in your country at the critical time! All the world is paying its respects to Vaclav Havel. You can see the BBC report at

Good luck in your quest for the Great Banded Grayling!

An even greater leader,
Kim Jong-il, has just died. He had been inspired by the late Spike Milligan who has the gravestone inscription (in Gaelic of course):
"I told you I was ill."

No mention how The Great Leader encouraged the lepidoptera of North Korea. So he couldn't have been
that great.

Apparently the Great Leader was a closet fan of Rowan Atkinson but this has only come to light after his death. He is now known as Kim Jong Bean.

For me hopefully a couple of new species, Lulworth and Essex Skippers would be great. But the opportunity to get a nice Dark Green Frit photo is what I really crave. Despite living and working in a very hot spot for them I seem to always fail to see them at their peak,
Cheers

Not long to wait now. Autumn and Spring in one day.
Lactarius (I think) fungi
