[QUOTE="honeym, post: 3245320, member: 69271"] Hi Username That's the problem. With the possibility of releases it makes monitoring 'real' arrivals almost impossible. It just muddies the waters for one person to make a profit. Actually, it has been possible to track sighting back to releases, several times (e.g. One in Rutland 11th July 2013 - traced back to a wedding in Leicester a few days earier [url]https://rutlandbutterflies.wordpress...rch-at-ketton/[/url] just on the previous page). In fact the releases are usually of very few specimens and they've been kept in a fridge prior to shipping out so they tend to be rather sluggish. At least one of the companies claims the exact opposite - the specimens selected don't fly far (i.e. they are from non-migratory stock). Your final comment is probably right, but it would be so much easier to know [B]for certain[/B] if there were no releases. Best wishes Martin [/QUOTE]
