Cleopatra

Post by Tony Moore »

I had always assumed that the Cleopatra had closed wings when at rest like our Brimstone. Recently, in southern Greece my wife watched a male Cleo land and stretch its wings wide for a few seconds before flying off. Sadly, too quickly for a photograph. Any thoughts anyone?

I met you once Tony - Collard Down I think.

You must be as old as me. Keep going.

That's right, Jack, I remember it well (unlike most other things!). Still hanging in there like you. Keep rocking!
