Nevada Grayling (Hippolyta)?

My CD of Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream has butterflies all over the cover. Now I see why - the play is full of butterflies!!

We've exhausted Lysander, Titania, Bottom the Weaver... What about Helena, as in Cyaniris (semiargus) helena?

Guy

Oh yes - and Hippolyte - just seen your post, Roger!!

Keeping on the same theme, both these butterflies appear in the titles of (different) Shakespeare plays. You have to give me the names of the plays...

The Spicebush Swallowtail is Papilio troilus - "Troilus and Cressida".

Cleopatra is from "Antony and Cleopatra".

Cheers,

This Persian tomb is clue that will lead you to a species of British butterfly - but which one?

Cheers,

Pete
This is Darius' Tomb. He was the father of Xerxes.
Thus are we looking for Ataxerxes - NBA?

Would it be the White Admiral? I am guessing Roger might be right but just having a go

Post by **Pete Eeles** » Sun Jul 19, 2009 2:46 pm

I'll give it to Roger. It's actually the tomb of Artaxerxes.

Thanks Pete.
As I am a logical lad, creating this question is easy.

White admiral...

You can see who watches Countdown!

But as church pianist I have to zoom now. If that was right, and if no one else overlaps with my answer, I throw the ball back to you, Roger.

You got it Guy.
Pull out all the stops.
I look forward to your next question.
