Imagine a song which is very close to the Rocky theme, but not close enough to constitute copyright infringement. I am humming this song now.

Oh god I'm so tired.

246 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:30

But I feel like posting a little in this thread.

247 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:30

If only I had something to post about.

248 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:30

Christ, I think this might be my worst stream of consciousness yet.

249 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:31

And I've posted some pretty bad streams of consciousness in my time, believe me.

250 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:31

I've seen lots of butterflies about recently.

251 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:32

My commute to and from work is just a half hour walk through fields and parkland, and there's a lot of them fluttering around the hedgerows.

252 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:33

There's a huge number of small tortoiseshells, although I've also spotted a few peacocks, small whites, and a brimstone.

253 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:34

It's fun watching them chase one another.

254 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:35

They spiral up around one another in a way that seems equal parts aggressive and playful; there's something faintly ridiculous about it.

255 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:35

I've even seen three or four of them chasing one another at once.

256 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:36

For some reason, nymphalids seem to be very territorial, whereas the others tend to be more laid back.

257 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:36

I wonder why that is.

258 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:37

It's not really obvious what they have to compete over.

259 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:38

I mean, the imago will drink nectar from pretty much any old flower.

260 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:39

And most of them just lay eggs on stinging nettles, which aren't exactly rare.

261 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:40

Perhaps we lowly humans will never understand the noble struggles that butterflies go through.

262 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:41

It seems such a simple life, flying around wherever you like, drinking from flowers, sleeping on the undersides of leaves, and so on.

263 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:42

But then there are the problems of avoiding predators, finding a mate, storing enough energy to hibernate through winter, and so on.

264 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:42

Oh, I said "and so on" twice.

265 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:43

And now I've said it three times.

266 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:43

I like red admirals.

267 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:44

There's something so confident and dignified about them, compared to other butterflies.

268 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:45

And they look so wonderfully dark and velvety up close.

269 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:46

Plus, their Latin name, Vanessa atalanta, sounds rather cool.

270 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:46

If I were a butterfly, I'd want to be a red admiral.

271 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:47

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any red admirals yet this year.

272 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:47

They must be about; it's not like they're particularly rare.

273 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:47

I suppose one'll turn up sooner or later.

274 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:49

ass

275 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:49

Did you know that nymphalids, including red admirals, only have four legs, unlike almost all other insects?

276 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:49

It's true! Look up a picture of one and count them for yourself.

277 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:50

Or better still, go out on a warm, sunny day and find a real one.

278 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:50

After all, all those pictures on the internet could just be photoshopped.

279 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:51

If you're wondering how to get close enough to a butterfly to be able to count its legs without scaring it away, fear not, for I have some advice.

280 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:52

It's generally easier to spot a butterfly in flight and follow it until it lands, rather than trying to find ones that are already on the ground.

281 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:53

But that might just be me; I'm severely colourblind, so they perhaps don't stand out to me as much as they would to you.

282 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:54

Anyway, once it's landed somewhere, there's only a few things you have to remember to avoid scaring it away.

283 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:55

The first is that, when they've landed somewhere, it's probably to sun themselves, so be careful not to block their sunlight.

284 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:55

If you cast a shadow on them, they'll almost certainly fly away.

285 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:56

The second thing is that they tend to be startled by large, or sudden movements.

286 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:56

So keep low to the ground, and move slowly and smoothly.

287 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:58

Even if they aren't scared by you, most butterflies don't stay in one place for more than a few seconds at a time, though, so don't be too slow.

288 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 20:59

Also, because they have compound eyes, they'll see you no matter which direction you approach from -- you can't sneak up behind a butterfly.

289 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:00

On the positive side, they aren't bothered by sound in the slightest; you can be as loud as you like.

290 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:00

I actually don't know if they don't have any sense of hearing, or if they can hear you but just don't care.

291 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:01

I should also mention that some species of butterfly are much more flighty than others.

292 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:03

And some just won't sit still! Papilionids in particular hardly ever seem to land in the first place.

293 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:04

I have heard it said that many species are more sluggish around dawn and dusk, but I can't say I've really noticed much difference myself.

294 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:04

Not that I'm usually awake and out butterfly spotting at dawn, to be fair.

295 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:05

Have I really just spent almost fifty posts talking to myself about butterflies?

296 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:07

Well, not quite fifty consecutive posts -- thanks for your input, >>274.

298 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:07

I suppose I'll just get us up to >>300 and then call it a night.

299 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:09

Good night, DQN.

300 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8997 21:10

May your heart be as light and free as a butterfly.
