Been there (though admittedly slightly inebriated, with Jimit). I'd be less skeptical if, having come all the way from the stars, they'd mastered square vortices.

I may have asked you this before but have forgotten the answer. Why a Meadow Brown when a Wall would be so much more appropriate?

I have an inner city allotment, it's been there years and was originally a walled garden for one of Grainger's last houses. I watched a Wall warming up, in the sun, last summer, on the garden wall. But there was just one and they are declining rapidly, nationally. None this year, but there have been more Small copper and many Six-spot burnet moth. The Meadow brown I found in the gutter dead, took it home and scanned it. It was the most common butterfly at my base camp, but only half the size, there, of its city brethren. More delicately coloured too.
