It might be the cloudberry.I used to pick both the billberry and cloudberries up on the Roaches in Staffordshire, in those days you might also see a Wallaby, beleive it or not!!! (Nothing to do with having drunk any alcohol or partaking of hallucinogenic substances LOL!) Something do do with them escaping from a private collection or zoo or something, not sure of the century it happened but, they bred quite happily for some years. I remember nearly falling down (?Hen hill) with shock and my then boyfriends father catching me, then telling me the story.

If it is growing in damp places, it might be Hogweed and the Giant Hogweed is poisonous and can cause skin rashes if in touch with your skin. The plant is not so delicate as the Queen Annes' Lace.

You can apparently eat achillea too (the leaves), it's supposed to be a tad bitter, but a suitable 'green' to eat when pushed. At least Richard Mabey thought so!<BR/><BR/>As for the butterfly there is a fantastic <A HREF="http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/index.php" REL="nofollow">website </A>with forum who'll be able to tell you what it is if you can't find it.
