A Learning

I finally discovered, a few weeks ago, that if you want to find images of the chrysalis of a particular species of butterfly, including the scientific name in the search string helps a lot.

The internet is a wonderful thing and I'm very glad I don't have to interlibrary loan entomological textbooks the old-fashioned way.

(I've been gently mulling the concept of a tattoo including a chrysalis for Some Time Now; for reasons, I am inclined toward the peacock butterfly; its binomial is Aglais io. And yes, now I know the wikipedia page has a helpful illustration, but this didn't occur to me when I first started idly looking...)
