Here's the holiday snap "slide show"

Small coppers having a good time on the golf course, sandwiches with sand eels, hawks and beeches...

Only real difference between butterflies and all other moths is that butterflies cannot unhook their forewings from hindwings, so cannot oscillate forewings independently to help them warm up, which is pretty much why they need sunny days, whereas some moths can fly when it's freezing cold

Hahah, butterflies will land on you to drink your sweat! The male Emperor moth, I'd say, is far more skittish than any butterfly we have here, they're a nightmare to net. Sometimes they settle if you have got some of the pheromone lure on you.
