A Mistaken Butterfly
Abstract
IN NATURE of September 5 last an Australian correspondent notes the attraction of the blue knob of a hatpin for a butterfly. When playing golf in Gulmarg (Kashmir) this summer I was frequently put off by a large butterfly settling on the ball just as I was making a stroke. I make a point of keeping my ball white and clean, and the butterflies evidently mistook it for a white flower.
