I thought it might be an idea to write a 'letter' to Metamorphosis every so often to let the readership know what we're up to. Dave Edge used to do a very good 'Letter from Knysna' some time ago (hint...) and it'd be great if the other branches did them too. Here goes... This winter has been poor for butterflies, unlike last year when our best spots were heaving with winter form Coast Purple Tip Colotis erone. And of course we have had visitors hoping to see them. Bill Steele was down last weekend and we saw none at Delville Wood. Bill and Christina came to our Sunday Bird Club/Lepsoc outing to Shongweni Dam reserve. Butterflies started to appear, including C. erone, and we walked around the reserve enjoying the winter sunshine.
