my Comma, Polygonia c-album |
On Tuesday Dorothy flew in from New Zealand and joined us at
8:30pm. On Wednesday morning another ex-Aramcon, Sue, joined us for lunch and
we had a good reminisce about life in Saudi Arabia where we all spent many happy
years. In the afternoon we took Dorothy to Swanbourne Lake and I did a circuit
round the lake and found Red Admirals and a Small Tortoiseshell on Hemp
Agrimony.
This morning I found a Comma by the orchids and realised it
was the due date for the emergence frmo the pupa I collected on August 26. I
saw it as a caterpillar on August 22, so it pupated 23 to 25th and spent
12-14 days as a pupa. We then took Dorothy to the station to begin her European tour.
