At least 4 male emperors found throughout a four hour trial by heat with temperatures reaching 36F.Late morning I flushed a male from dog poo which flew up about four feet to sit for twenty minutes on a shaded blackthorn leaf before descending for another fifteen minute feed on the dog poo.It then flew back into the blackthorn and perched again for twenty minutes on a shaded leaf this time no more than three feet above the ground.Conjecture I know but maybe it did this because if it went to the top of the oaks it would be too hot?
