The following report of a female Emperor in the departure lounge at Gatwick was received by UK Butterflies this morning, from Tim Webb. It is believed that the insect was spotted beyond Passport Control, but as yet her destination is unknown. Congratulations to Tim's son."Hi,
my son saw and photographed this inside one of the walkways at Gatwick Airport.
It looks like a White Admiral with a pair of orange and black eyes on the wings?
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
thanks"

We desperately need the date for this remarkable sighting, not least because this must be the first female of 2013! In July 2007 a female was found squashed on the steps of the High Court. With iris all things are possible...
