Incorrect picture

edit

The picture accompanying this page shows a gatekeeper, (Pyronia tithonus), not a meadow brown. There are further picture inaccuracies when you look for more pictures - including a ringlet masquerading as a meadow brown.

That comment refers to a previous photo. Hopefully the current one is OK. Ghouston 10:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Neophobia

edit

Are phobias not abnormalities? The link to neophobia defines it as the persistent and abnormal fear of anything new. (Persistent _and_ not _or_.) Surely predators exercise normal caution when reacting to sudden displays, not abnormal morbid fears? If not, please can the author cite a reference for the assertion that there are neophobic predators out there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caligo (talkcontribs) 09:03, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
