White Morpho and other new tropicals

Morpho polyphemus, White Morpho 
Yesterday morning I met Mark and James at Earnley for some tropical flavour since the weather was not conducive to our natives. We were not disappointed as there were many new species freshly emerged from the latest delivery of pupae.
Afterwards we headed to Rewell Wood, but the weather was still overcast. However I did see some interesting insects which will have to be the subject of another blog as I am off to Oaken Wood now hoping to see Wood Whites.
