Large Black Butterfly
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:22 pm
Hello,
Just joined this forum as I was inside the local MacD with my daughter and a large mainly black butterfly was in there. No one but me was amazed....I to asked one of the lobby staff to try to catch it (in a large cup) and put it outside. He was a little indifferent, but said he would if he could but it was too fast for him.
My daughter said she saw some colour on it, but truth be told I was in a rush to get her to where she needed to get to, so did not spend any more time in there.
Wondered what species it could be, and if it was protected. Have only 5 mins to join write this then go out again, so please forgive if this is a little confusing. Also is there anywhere in South London (inner London as opposed to Richmond, etc) as such that concerns itself with butterflies?
I would have loved to have been able to contact someone close by who could have given me more info!
