@gemlog I didn't know it was a reference, but I knew you were joking. So is this an old slashdot joke? What's the context?
@gemlog no worries!
@Nightingalle また明日＾＿＾
@Vexatos ok, I didn't know that, I've never seen one like that before.
@Vexatos I'm not an expert but I don't think that that is a dandelion. The shape of the flower head is quite different.
Like this one:
@cmdr_amarao I actually wondered about that. I'm not even sure to what extent the patterns and colours differ across individuals, let alone species. But it looks like you should be able to establish some kind of approximate equivalence.
@Vexatos Nice! What are they?
@cmdr_amarao If one is not a butterfly expert then certainly! I'm not even sure if the ones in my pictures are both the same kind.
Maybe they are "dark green fritillary", I can't really tell the difference.
The flowers on which the butterflies were sitting in my previous post. It's called cat's ear.

There are not all that many varieties of butterflies in the Scottish Highlands. I think this one is called "pearl-bordered fritillary".
You can see that the left one has some damage on its wings. Life as a butterfly has its dangers.

@Vexatos I imagine it must be stunning. Post a pic if you have a chance!
Here we have plenty of sheep too but no traditional shepherds.
@Vexatos Lucky you! I have to travel some distance. Is that the Lüneburg Heath?
Standing by Myself
OK, time for something a bit more obvious: Scottish heather.
I love the Wikipedia quote:
"Heather is seen as iconic of Scotland, where the plant grows widely. When poems like Bonnie Auld Scotland speak of "fragrant hills of purple heather', when the hero of Kidnapped flees through the heather, when heather and Scotland are linked in the same sentence, the heather talked about is Calluna vulgaris."
