Nah. It’s a moth. Butterflies wings closed at rest. Moths have them open. As in the picture above.

Here's a bit of entomological trivia for you: Technically there's no difference between a butterfly and a moth - it's an arbitrary distinction, as there is no characteristic that reliably separates all the 'butterflies' from all the 'moths'.

'Tis said those are the souls of long lost bikers - trapped between worlds, seeking excitement, they feed on the spikiest thistles they can find. It's not much by way of thrills but it beats being reincarnated as a Mayfly.

As long as it involves beer and cake I'm in, ok i can forgo the cake but the beer is non negotiable, unless its substituted for single malt and shortbread

Alcohol and cake - the basis of any decent entomology field trip.

I think alcohol may have been involved in the unfortunate reference I made to prostitutes in front of a load of eminent Brazilian entomologists on a field trip some years ago...

If you ever need a pa (someone to encourage you to drink more ) I'm definitely in

That sounds dangerous, especially as I've done some pretty f*cking dumbass things stone cold sober! Collecting Africanised 'killer' bees in a jam jar from a tree stump in Kenya is one, and hunting for baboon spiders in scrubland infested with black mambas was another.

I was bitten by a snake walking back from the pub in the uk

Oh dear - apparently I was supposed to be helping my wife plan our summer holiday whilst I was engaged in this conversation, and now she's stomped off in a huff.

Neither my wife nor I have the stamina to stay mad at each other for more than about ten minutes!
