The ship I was attached to is coming out of mothballs and headed for the scrap heap in Texas

AS-33 leaving the James River and headed for the scrappers

Must be a bit sad to see your old ship go to the breakers.

I'm hoping she becomes part of the wall.

A peep into a corner of my butterfly collection: top left are 2 Wall Browns, below them are 2 Small Heaths, below these are 4 Marbled Whites (caught on my honeymoon), then 2 Dark Green Fritillaries at top right, beneath which is a Silver-Washed Fritillary (caught in the ancient St Leonards Forest)

Brimstone

Green-Veined White above and Orange-Tip below; the female does not have the orange colour

These framed displays are usually very beautiful, as this one is, and pretend to be a little bit academic, but a true entomological collection will have each specimen labelled to show the scientific name as well as the exact time & place of capture... this is what makes them of value in studies of climate and habitat

I bought it from a garage sale for $10 .

The very wet weather we've had at the start of the season will probably decimate many butterfly populations.

A common insect in all localities in high Summer, today I photographed this Red Admiral basking in the late afternoon sun
