People always wonder what those red berries sticking out of the ground are and if you can eat them.  I've had several people think they were a fungi too.

Simon,
You have a few mis-identifications on your blog (from bottom of page upwards):
The 'moth' on tufted vetch is a small skipper by the looks of it (hard to tell fom the angle)
'Yarrow' is actually wild carrot
'Knapweed' is great burnet
Red clover, creeping thistle and lesser stichwort
'hemlock' is wild angelica
The butterfly on the cornflower is a gatekeeper if you didn't know already (it's a male too)

Woops! Thanks for the info and thanks for taking the time to look a my blog - I'll rectify the mistakes - I still have plenty to learn about wild flowers - and insects  :)

No problem  8)
Identification is a constant learning process.  I still often come across species I've never seen before, but with about 2500 species I've still got a lot to see, especially as there are a lot of things just not found in my area (many of the orchid species for example).

Entomology is a whole other ball game with all of its hair counting, genital examination, etc!  ;D

and bear in mind that i've spent a lot of time doing the things described by Uncle_Filthster, and i'm still useless at identifying butterflies  :o
