A lovely interruption from writing about orchids - pre-publication copies of my new book for children have arrived.
Writing this meant a lot to me. As a kid I was desperate for books full of interesting facts and cool stuff about butterflies. If this book finds a kid like me, I hope they love it.

Common Dog Violet, Viola riviniana
Viola, invert dependants: there are at least 24 species – and 20 of them are Lepidoptera
The little violets' heads bowed on their stems,
The pre-dawn gossamers, all dew and scrim
And star-lace

Fragaria vesca, Wild Strawberry, Invert Associates
Native of woods, scrub & hedgerow, embankments & road verges, an important element of the ground flora. It supports 51 species of invert as a larval host, of which 14 are Coleoptera, 30 Lepidoptera.

Recent news - they've dumped the place
run by Mr What's-his-face
who turned it into something rotten
Sold his soul. Now forgotten
by the learned nature folk
happier in woods of oak,
fields of flowers, shores of sand:
everywhere a wonderland
