Hello Folks!Be they big or small, insects are undoubtedly highly fascinating creatures. Chances are wherever you are, whatever you're doing, an insect is not a million miles away and you might not even know it! So what better reason than to have a quiz to see how much you know about them.
Each Monday for 12 weeks, I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify the insect. On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest.MYSTERY INSECT QUIZ#6According to William, Cassius may have seen one of these at the battle of Philippi.P.S - Apologies for delay, managed to trap a couple of pinkies in my car door on monday and with a poorly wing, have been grounded. Will post a clue tomorrow.
Well done Germain!!
That's one butterfly I have had the pleasure to see! :-)

You have put that Calpurnia was the "husband" of Caesar should it be wife or am I missing something
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Thank you :) It was the second clue that nailed it for me. It is a butterfly I would love to see, woodland rides are a good spot I understand, especially if there is a fresh pile of horse dung!
