Camberwell Beauty...Sorrig Mantel


Chatting with my pal Eric about nature.I do band his ear a bit, but I think I get away with it.
I asked him if the Camberwell Beauty was common in West Gothland. He has never seen one. I read in England that they migrate from Sweden to East Anglia...
So we got on the net and checked it out...In American, Camberwell Beauty is Morning cloak, which in Swedish is Sorrig Mantell...
I reckon that the Swedes named it in the new world. Then Anglicised the name...
