Dominik Eulberg - 'Zweibrütiger Scheckenfalter'

I had to look up what a zweibrütiger scheckenfalter is, as my German's not that good. Turns out it's a meadow fritillary butterly. I'd have got schmetterling, but anyway, here's a couple of other butterfly translations.

"Oberthür's grizzled skipper" is "Zweibrütiger Würfel-Dickkopffalter"

"Assmann's fritillary" is "Assmanns Scheckenfalter"

"Glanville fritillary" is "Rostgelber Moorwiesen-Wegerich-Scheckenfalter"

I'm listening to Death Row by Jesca Hoop, which mentions a Chrysalis, so sort of butterfly related

Now i am a fan of a good old fashioned gurning bassist but guitarist Buck Meek takes things to a whole different level here. Probably the best version of Masterpiece they have ever played so it's worth a watch anyway. The comments below are also rather fun :)

 

 

She looks weird with long hair. Only seen her as a skinhead before :D
