Who or What am I? Answer: Elf Cup – Scarlet? Ruby? without microscopic study who knows. If you blow on them in March/April you can sometimes trigger them to shoot clouds of spores. It is the slight change in temperature from your breath that does this.
Who or What am I? I will give you until 9 as you never got the second hint.
Mea culpa - I never put up Hint 2: A popular food source for rodents and slugs. It has also been thought to be used as a bath for fairies and a dew cup for elves. Answer here tonight at 8.
Who or What am I? Hint 1: Initially spherical later a shallowly saucer, favours areas with high rainfall (so where wouldn’t you find it this year 😂) and can be seen on decaying sticks, branches and leaf litter. Second hint at noon.

Looking for a new recipe for butternut squash, I found this delicious warm salad - Roasted Butternut Squash with Lentils and Feta. You can use green lentils, but baluga lentils - the small black ones looking a bit like cavier have a wonderful creamy taste

Who or What am I? Answer: Brimstone. Unusually it's sexually immature when it pupates. A reproductive diapause aligns the its complete life cycle to seasonal changes in the environment to ensure that further development occurs in the most suitable conditions. The photo is from Butterfly Conservation
Who or What am I? Hint 2: Distinctive, leaf-shaped wings characteristically veiny. The wings of the female are very pale green, almost white, and males have yellow-green underwings and yellow upperwings. Both have a small orange spot on each wing. Answer here at 8pm
Is 7 better for you than 8?
Who or What am I? Hint 1:One of the earliest spring butterflies (we saw one yesterday!). It is said by some to be the one from which the word 'butterfly' originates. Second hint at noon.
