Tues July 4th: Rain Stops Play

Rain prevented little if any play today over much of the Empire, especially in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Hampshire. Some play was possible in some of the northern parts of the insect's range, e.g. Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.

Interesting, and odd, that the butterfly still hasn't been seen in Sherwood Forest, Notts, this year... The forest suffered a severe drought last August.

Emperors should erupt tomorrow, after two day's of enforced inaction (weather permitting).

We still don't know what numbers are like in many northern and eastern localities.
