| I believe that at the start of WWII one from one of the London zoos was tried by some of the staff and not considered worth eating again. |

| They are called orange tips, Sgt. Colon. I haven't seen an awful lot of butterflies yet. July tends to be the best time in the woods as we get silver washed fritillaries, and sometimes a purple empero ... |

Sounds nice Sgt. Colon. Odd there being only one type of bee on each.
We had a red admiral butterfly around the place we sit in our 'yard' yesterday, and it sat on the back of son's chair. I manag ... |
