Following yesterday's post , Warren asked if Clouded Yellows ever open their wings . In response , Marianne and Spock both confirmed that they rarely do , just when taking off or as Marianne put it so technically ' a female might when doing the bum-aloft rejection display to a male ' , I love that technicality .

I must add that there were a lot of rubbish ones too that went straight in the bin .
