"Exhausted Footman: A Woolly Bear's Journey in Grahamstown, South Africa" Witness the captivating life of an exhausted footman, a caterpillar known as the woolly bear. By night, it tirelessly feeds on grasses, transforming into the magnificent tri-coloured tiger moth. In Grahamstown, Eastern Cape of South Africa, this amorous footman encounters native princes arriving for the Imperial Assemblage at Delhi in 1877. Discovering the advantages of wearing muslin dresses dedicated to capturing the serious attention of none other than The Queen of Hearts herself. Mr Edward Terry, a talented actor, portrays three theatrical roles including that of Knight of Death/Durer. Illustrations from Thackeray's "The Newcomes" depict a social gathering where even lions join in on the merriment. However, not all is well-behaved as one mischievous boy kicks his butler. Intriguingly named moths such as red-line quaker and clouded buff make their appearance alongside the feathered footman and antler moth (Lygephila lusoria). These enchanting creatures add beauty to our world with their vibrant colors and delicate wings. Join us on this journey through various realms - from exhausted footmen to regal gatherings - where nature intertwines with human stories and captures our imagination.
