Lily’s Travels III
LILYThis is a splendid locality for butterflies; the entire female population of P.Napi was represented by variety Vryonia. Directly I see the males on the wing I conjecture that at this elevation the females will most probably be of this variety and I am glad to find that I have conjectured rightly; it seems so brutal to rob them of all their little, dusky wives and the mothers of the next brood, but there’s just no choice. Take a good thing when you see it. Or give up collecting altogether… And so I will. At the end of the day. How I loathe that phrase: At the end of the day. The heat is intense. More than once I sit on a rock and dangle my naked feet in the cold water of a stream fresh from the mountains.
