Which does not begin with L, unless that is the Latin for Ladybird!!Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white. -
I thought I'd edited that post, having made a double balls-up of it, first in getting the img command wrong, and secondly in not noticing this page: I was at the bottom of page 4. I thought I had indeed edited it to 'Ladybird', but obviously not. Maybe I hit the wrong button.
Oh well - assuming that you're playing 'Ladybird':
Moth.
(I saw a HUGE moth, the size of a very small bird, the other day. Biggest I've ever seen.)Comment

It's very easy to push the wrong button when 'editting'<g>
Biggest moth normally found in UK is Convulvulus hawk moth, about 3½ inches long when at rest, wingspan probably 6 inches. Wings are sort of blotches of pink and dark grey (I am pretty sure, it is at least 10 years since I saw one).

I'm sure there is a Q, but I can't think of it, so I'll let someone else find it!Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

How about 'Quite large moth'?
Yes, I think it was a hawk moth. A workmate found it, dead, and showed it to me.Comment

Upsidedown beetle (I don't know the proper name, but that is what we cal them. They fly around lights, such as the oil lamps we use when eating outside, crash, and land on their backs, they are about an inch long and ear-wax yellow, we see them in Spain a lot!)Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment
