BBC - Nine Fluttery Facts

[MikeOxon]

I recently came across this collection of butterfly info at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/article ... utterflies

I hadn't realised before, the 'sinister' connections associated with the Meadow Brown. Apparently, the generic name Maniola translates as ‘little spirit from hell’. I had, however, felt that there was something menacing about the one behind a Brown Hairstreak in my recent photo: download/file.php?id=75427&mode=view

the Meadow Brown does not seem very sinister... even a Cabbage White would be more threatening imho

Thanks for sharing that video Mike it was very interesting and in your photo it does look menacing, may be that's why they tried to mow them down at Hall-Lee-Brook recently

I took this shot recently, it look's a little Devil does it not Goldie
