| Caligo memnon, Owl |
Yesterday I met Mark at RHS Wisley to view the start of
the annual exhibition of tropical butterflies. Due to cloud early
on the butterflies were mostly roosting, though the sun came out later and they
started flying as the temperature in the Glasshouse rose. I saw two new species: Black and White Helen (Papilio nephelus) and Green-banded Swallowtail (Papilio nireus).
