Apparently it had been hand-reared as a cub and released. Late last year it nipped someone who was feeding it by hand. It was reported to the 'authorities' along with hysterical fear of rabies or TB and of course, the police had no option but to react by getting a marksman to shoot it.

Some points of opinion emerge:
It is selfish to want to interact directly with wild (or even semi-wild) animals. (Yes, that includes consorting with gorillas)
Rearing young abandoned or orphaned animals is also selfish, unnatural and is likely to do nothing to enhance the animal's life. A wish to avoid death is a human affliction and should not be extended to the natural world.
Woe betide any wild animal that is unlucky enough to become directly involved with the human world.]]>

It rested with wings open, about the size of a Speckled Wood. Wings darkish brown with thin pale cream border on 'trailing edges'. One small spot or ring on each forewing, distinct but not strongly contrasting in colour. Did not see any other colour.

Could anyone make a guess?

We don't have the variety of butterflies here that occurs in the south. Speckled Woods first appeared only a few years ago and as far as the influx of Painted Ladies is concerned, I have seen only 3 or 4 faded ones so far this year.]]>

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but hopefully someone can help. I am British and live in Transylvania. I know quite a lot about the wildlife here, but not the flora. I enter a meadow most days on my way to the forests of the Vrancea mountains and always find myself amazed by the variety and number of flowers and other plants growing wild. One friend has already identified one photo as being a cornflower, so hopefully others will be known to the UK as well.

I have already written to the Natural history museum in Bucharest for help, but unfortunately all 4 email addresses I have for them failed.

Kind regards and thanks in advance.
