Talking of partners and children. My partner doesn't care at all about butterflies. She considers the whole notion completely tedious. If we're talking moths, she positively hates them. I have a five year old daughter who I have taught all the obvious species and she can name them, however she tolerates my interest and reluctantly accompanies me butterflying.
She even saw Heath Fritillary aged about 2 in East Blean Woods. The family were more interested in the picnic, whilst I danced around emotionally enthusing about how I used to gaze at the Observers book and wonder where they were, and hey, look, they're everywhere! "Oh right, can you pass me a cheese sandwich please".
I was en route to my dad's in Liverpool and was taking my 5 yr old with me. I stopped off at a good place to see Silver Studded Blue. (It's just South of Whitchurch by some big Government hangers on the A41). "Do we have to Daddy? Silver Studded Blue are boring".
Oh well, I'll plough on......
