Baceolus

Did you enjoy April Fool’s Day?

My favourite item, brought to me by courtesy of my daughter Helen, was on Nature’s Calendar.

It suggested a butterfly, a new species to science – Aprilis baceolus - had been found in Kent.



Why have I blogged about it here? Because, as Helen pointed out, the word baceolus means stupid, slow-witted, unintelligent, inept, foolish, or silly.

Nice one!
