Day 58: ...the loris will take payment in birdseed
Work at home day. I realised that this year will be busy with teaching, researching, studying, writing, concerting, play-ing...etc etc. And etc etc. Fridays will be busy from now on too. Not that they haven't been of course, just differently busy for a year or so.
There has also been a lot of talk about the explosion of butterflies in recent weeks. Perhaps it is a combination of wet weather, humidity, heat. A few months ago we were talking about the lack of butterflies. But they were everywhere today in the duranta erecta. I spotted a few different ones.
Including a hitherto elusive blue triangle butterfly...
 |
| For starters, bit of a shy one... |
 |
| All legs down for landing |
 |
| Delicate lightness of being, really |
 |
| The blue triangle |
 |
| Orange, amber, brown |
And spotted by my neighbour...
 |
| Common Eggfly, female, apparently |
 |
| Ordinary name for an extraordinary butterfly really |
 |
| Pretending to be a leaf...a lemon migrant |
 |
| Farewell to blue triangles |
The loris who also like to fly by, paused for their afternoon feed too.
 |
| Erm 'scuse us... |
 |
| Yep, here thanks... |
 |
| Oh, there, cheers |
