The Duke of Burgundy Page #2
Thank you.
Thank you, Dr Viridana.
Would anyone like to ask a question?
I often have trouble differentiating
between the Small and Large Skipper.
Is there any way to tell them apart?
Easy.
One is large, one is small.
A lot of people have that trouble, since
they are both the same size and colour.
But the Small Skipper often holds its
wings at a 45-degree angle when resting.
Its orange colouring is more uniform, too,
while the Large Skipper has mottled
orange patterns on its underside.
Any other questions?
Could you talk about the venation
of the Grizzled Skipper?
How do you mean?
In terms of longitudinal and cross veins
and how... how they vary in relation
to other species within the family.
so visually distinctive amongst the family
that there's no need to go
into such detail on the wings.
It's the only skipper in the region
to have black markings
- and is by far the easiest to identify.
- I know.
I was just wondering how one goes
about classifying other Pyrgus species
in other regions.
I'm afraid it's something I can't answer.
This talk only concerns this region.
Any other questions? No?
OK, well, once again,
thank you very much, Dr Viridana.
For the next talk, we'll have...
- What's that look?
- Nothing.
...parasitic Hymenoptera.
I feel so stupid, Cynthia.
- That Grizzled Skipper nonsense.
- It's OK. Don't worry about it.
- You don't think I'm stupid, do you?
Of course not. It's OK.
What?
Can you let me go now?
No.
So, you would like your lover
to sleep on top of you?
Ah, yes.
I make two types of bed
for what you want.
One where the compartment underneath
slides out and then back in,
or one where the bed mattress lifts up
and then can be pulled down
and locked once you're inside.
Once you're inside, it's the same.
It's just the sensation of being put in
and set free that is different.
Which one would you recommend?
The bed lifting up is often more favoured
than the drawer-style compartment.
Sometimes the drawers can get stuck.
Thankfully, that usually happens
when they're out, rather than in,
but it's a critical moment when they're
about to be locked up for the night
and then realise that they can't be.
Well, the bed lifting up
seems fine by me.
It's just a simple spring
that lifts the bed up.
Customers find the slamming effect of the
bed closing down on them very dramatic.
That bed is very popular.
I think I made one for someone
in the neighbourhood a few months ago.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- Who was that?
- Ah, I can't remember her name.
Let me think...
