Then I came in to put on the macro lens and it had fallen on the floor but it was still in one piece! Then came in to get a moth pot to put it in and by the time I had got back outside it had fallen again and I could only find half!<br /><br />It so lovely to talk to someone who can't stop buying books either :) You will love the Ina Taylor book - it really is interesting. I bought the Country Diary Companion second hand as it was out of print. You are being exceedingly naughty tempting me with the Larvae and Exuviae book!!! - I shall be searching for it as soon as I have finished my comments :) Trouble is I have to keep away from Amazon as Brian has discovered you can check past history of buying :( <br /><br />Its strange about the appearance as I didn't do any copy or pasting! The only thing I can think is that when I was inserting lines between photos I may have done something I shouldn't have done - if that makes sense! TBH I reverted back to old blogger and am still using that! I still find it impossible to insert links or bold or italics. One of these days I will experiment so if people see posts appearing and disappearing its me in experiment mode :)<br /><br />Toffeeapple - Many thanks - its fascinating what you can find at times. <br /><br />Concerning the colour and underlining as mentioned to Jan above the only thing I can think I may have done wrong was perhaps split a photograph when I shouldn't have done which has adversely affected the typing.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-13786448109051260632012-07-16T19:19:26.774+01:002012-07-16T19:19:26.774+01:00That was very interesting, I have never seen one a...That was very interesting, I have never seen one at all.<br /><br />Not only is part of your post in blue but when you hover your cursor over it, it changes to underlined yellow - most odd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-16576322977639826332012-07-16T17:25:19.210+01:002012-07-16T17:25:19.210+01:00What a fascinating post!

I have never photographed exuvia but am always on the lookout for it :-) Great photos, a shame about the mishap though ;-) <br /><br />You are costing me money again Caroline!! Having just recently ordered a secondhand (it's currently out of print) copy of Ina Taylor's Edith Holden book....all your fault!...I have now discovered there is a book called Field Guide to the Larvae and Exuviae of British Dragonflies by Steve Cham. I hear it calling my name...and maybe yours too especially as you have a pond!<br /><br />I didn't notice the difference in type colour until you mentioned it but I have had the same problem. It is to do with copying and pasting and the only solution I have found is to physically type the piece out :-( Blogger can be a real pain sometimes!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-70804320436941802972012-07-16T10:02:19.747+01:002012-07-16T10:02:19.747+01:00Rohrerbot - What a coincidence Chris!!

The parent had something in its bill and I couldn't figure out what it was....and then you posted this!!! Now I know exactly what it is. I had no idea that this is what they were called....now I know. Thank you:) We had beautiful rain tonight and the clouds were fantastic at sunset. Hope you have a nice start to your week. "Exuvia patronum!" Sounds like a Harry Potter spell:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
