	Butterfly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Butterfly watching is growing in popularity as a hobby.
		An erroneous etymology claims that the word butterfly came from a metathesis of "flutterby"; however, the Old English word was buttorfleoge and a similar word occurs in Dutch, apparently because butterflies were thought to steal milk.
		Although the butterflies are classified in two superfamilies, Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea, these are sister taxa, so the butterflies collectively are thought to constitute a true clade.

	Whale Watching
		Watching whales from a boat is more dependent upon weather, and less influenced by the time of day.
		Where a whale approaches a vessel and the distance between the whale and the vessel becomes less than 100 metres, the vessel master must place its motor or motors in neutral or move the vessel at less than five knots away from the whale until the vessel is outside the contact zone.
		Whales range in size and weight from the 31-metre blue whale, the world’s largest, weighing between 80 and 130 tonnes, to the 2.4-metre dwarf sperm whale, weighing about 150 kilograms.

	Watching Ellie
		After week 1 they said "20,000 viewers tuned in to Watch Ellie." After week two, they said "In the last two weeks, 28,000 viewers tuned in to Watch Ellie." I say week 4 or 5, the only folks watching Ellie will be Julia, her husband, and her sister.

	JS Online: 'Watching Ellie' A Slice of Life Comedy
		Ellie finally arrives at the club, thank goodness (it's just a block from home), and begins her first number, ``So Nice,'' which is frozen in mid-phrase 74 seconds later as the countdown hits 00:00.
		Ellie's world also includes her married-with-child younger sister (Lauren Bowles), her married boyfriend who's also the guitarist in her band (Darren Boyd), and ex-beau Edgar (Steve Carell), a voice-over actor whose loutish smarm is matched only by his flights of twisted logic.
		But ``Ellie'' boasts its own atomized variation, seizing willy-nilly a 22-minute chunk of Ellie's life (getting ready for her nightclub gig; singing at her best friend's wedding) and presenting this interlude unabridged.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Ellie bears watching
		Watching Ellie is not the painful exercise in self-adulation it might have been.
		Without a laugh track and filmed with a single camera, Watching Ellie feels like it belongs on HBO, closer in tone and content (co-star Don Lake bares his buttocks; Ellie calls her ex-boyfriend an expletive that cannot be repeated here) to Sex and the City than Friends.
		The good news for the ex-Elaine is that Watching Ellie is far better than Bob Patterson or The Michael Richards Show.

	Watching Ellie, by Ariana

	Whale Watching Hervey Bay
		Whale watching takes place in Hervey Bay from July to November when the humpback whales are on their migration route from the Antarctic.
		Imagine the fifth largest of the families of whales on this planet, 15 metres long, 45 tonnes in weight (an equivalent of 11 elephants or 600 persons) with pectoral fins of 10 metres, leaping almost clear of the water in an awesome display of power.
		The reason for this migration is simple: while their food supply (krill) is in Antarctica, Humpback whales must give birth in warm waters, as the calves are born without blubber, the layer of fat that protects them from the icy waters.

	Kilrush: Europe's Dolphin-Watching Capital
		Although there had been tentative steps in dolphin watching out of Carrigaholt in the early 1990's it was a pilot study in 1993/4, which ascertained that there was a resident group of bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon estuary and that dolphin watching was a potentially viable industry, that marine eco-tourism took root in west Clare.

	Saving Dolphins
		The dolphins communicate by means of a rich repertoire of whistles and rasping sounds and, in at least some populations, individuals appear to have a signature whistle.
		Bottlenose dolphins have been hunted for meat, fertilizer, and oil, but their numbers do not appear to have been significantly reduced except in the Black Sea, where pollution and overfishing of the dolphin's prey have caused as much damage to them as direct killing.
		The dolphins feed by nosing into near-shore rocky crevasses, by chasing fish onto mudbanks and snapping them up while they are beached, or by cooperatively herding prey into dense clusters, sometimes against a shore or up to the surface of the water.

	FAQ - The Butterfly WebSite - butterfly questions
		Butterfly and moth grubs have up to ten extra legs, called 'prolegs.' Since these extra legs cause them to look and act differently, these grubs are called 'caterpillars.' Some caterpillars turn into butterflies, but most turn into moths.
		Butterflies are generally brightly-colored while moths are generally drab, though they are many dramatic exceptions to this.
		Butterflies and moths both belong to a group of insects called "lepidoptera", meaning that they have wings covered with scales.

	Gordon's University of Texas Press Review Page
		Butterfly watching is in, at least that is what several American books have told me recently, so I suspect it is in, at least in America.
		All to many butterfly guides deal only with the adult form, yet my experience teaches me that the general public are as interested in, and as fascinated by, the larval stages of lepidoptera as by the adult forms.
		It has been 'in' for some time in the UK, home of 'Butterfly Conservation' and the BRS and if that wasn't enough to convince you that butterflies are sexy then consider that the first two issues of the new international 'Journal of Insect Conservation' have been devoted entirely to lepidoptera.
