Adonis Blue, Small Blue, Grizzled Skipper and a Duke of Burgundy last night but in untypical situations – underneath leaves on bushes.

What have been your butterfly dreams? I don’t of course mean aspirations of what you would hope to see but those strange night-time fantasies.

I started a similar thread back in 2007, Jack (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1808). I have had hundreds, if not thousands, of dreams about butterflies - and usually about photographing them. More than once I've woken up to realise it was only a dream and thought, 'Well, at least I've got the photos'. Then the dreadful reality has sunk in that I haven't even got those. The day can't be too far off when you can photograph things in your dreams and keep a copy to remind you of your nocturnal adventures ...

I wasn't aware of that thread. Glad to know that I'm not all that odd. Odd. Odd. Odd.

I tend to dream of locations, rather than the butterflies themselves. Quite often though I am confronted with species that I have coveted for a while - Large Tortoiseshells, Camberwell Beauties, Nettle Tree Butterflies, etc.

I always dream I've left my Camera at home, I had this dreams quite a few times and then it happened back in November, I was walking in a park in Lytham when this Red Admiral flew down in front of me (no Camera) I could have kicked myself at least I broke the dream, I've made sure it's always with me since then.

I'm not too sure that being able to photograph/record nocturnal adventures (as Guy thinks might one day be possible) is necessarily such a good idea.
