On Monday morning I had a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) flying round my garden in south-east England. At the time there was bright sunshine but it was only about 7⁰C!

There's always something to learn, I just watched a PBS program about butterflies and different materials that are being developed from their study, one segment mentioned the way butterflies warm themselves, and pointed out that often cabbage whites are some of the first butterflies to become active in the mornings, by angling their wings to reflect light onto their dark abdomens. Never thought about it before, but I've noticed it.
