David GrayWhere are you going to place the legal warning? 'BEWARE OF THIS DOG - MIGHT PULL AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS AND GIVE YOU A HEART ATTACK. Same thing - you're dead!
David GrayLepidoptera - most beautiful denizens of the arthropod. I still revel in the common Wanderer and the Emperor moth which became my initial friend in this 'family' when I first arrived in Australia in 1956.I have unsuccessfully tried to set up an 'aviary' for breeding butterflies twice. Never too late! These photos might be a trigger for a third go. Thanks.

Sue RowleyI'm amazed - I would never have thought of breeding them, David. Do you know the name of this butterfly? The photo is taken at our Don Valley place (ie near Healesville).

David GrayHi Sue
I think it might be the Moonlight Jewell.

Sue RowleyYou inspired me to search. How about Red-spotted Jezebel or Wood White (Delias aganippe)?

David GrayI'm almost certain it's the Red-spotted pudenda, priapas, lewd, salacious, hormonal, duplicitous, peni-cocti-erecti Ruytonuptus! Only way to scientifically ascertain is how does it act with others or in the presence of lollies? Is it religious! Are they erudite? Have they good manners? Do they utter 'pardon' following a belch? Have you observed one attempting a jitterbug?

David GrayDo they get rattled in the presence of lizards with open mouths? Have you seen one reading poetry - perhaps, 'I wander lonely as a moth'?

David GrayHave you heard one exclaim: "S**t, THAT WAS MY PRIVATE OVIPOSTER, YOU POSER"??????????????????? IF SO, THAT WAS A CRICKET AS IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT THEN WHEN ANGERED, A BUTTERFLY ONLY USES AN EXPLETIVE DEALING WITH BODILY COITUS, NEVER THE VULGAR VERNACULAR FOR EXCREMENT, (Source: Chief Te here Wharepapa of The Naphui tribe, Whangaroa-in-Spring)

David GraySorry, Sue, did I admit that my hobby is Grasshoppers? I've dedicated my humble life to teaching them to swim underwater for some decades - without any marked success. Can you help?
Monday, February 27, 2012 at 4:10pm UTC+11
David GraySo sorry to intrude again, Sue, but this might be highly pertinent. Do they expire when they see Julia G, or disintegrate when they hear her? If 'yes' to either, then they are emigrating, so you won't see them again.

Sue RowleyI'm pretty sure it's just a butterfly, David
David GrayAdorable fellow! Named after the Montgomery of WW2 fame? Loved Churchill's remark about him: "In defeat, unbeatable; in victory, unbearable." If there is a nexus, don't tell the wee canine.

Sue RowleyHa ha! I wont tell him. But he's named after Montague Cohen, Jim's great-grand father. Auspicious name, that Monty did quite well, in his time. Thanks for your note, David

Sue RowleyJim says the name came to England following the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
