The Vatican: The Pope departs for a visit to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore, until September 13. ON THIS DAY In 490BC Pheidippides was sent by the Athenians to Sparta to seek Spartan help for the Athenian army facing a Persian invasion; in 1898 Sir Horatio (later Lord) Kitchener completed his reconquest of the Sudan by his victory at the Battle of Omdurman; in 1944 the US air force pilot George HW Bush, a future US president, was shot down by Japanese forces and rescued by a US submarine crew. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In what was known as the Chichijima incident, he was the only one of nine airmen not to be captured by Japanese soldiers, four of whom were cannibalised; in 1994 the entertainer Roy Castle died of lung cancer, aged 62. He presented the BBC children’s TV show Record Breakers from 1972 to 1993, setting nine records himself. NATURE NOTES Sometimes, on warm days in late summer, large numbers of male chalkhill blue butterflies congregate on chalk or limestone grasslands in the south of England to look for females, which are more retiring and tend to hide in vegetation. After mating the eggs are laid on horseshoe vetch, a low-growing, yellow-flowered perennial, which is the only plant the caterpillars feed on. There is one brood per year, which emerges in mid-July to find a mate. A cloud of dancing, sky-blue butterflies gives a brief, heart-stopping hint of what abundance must have looked like to our ancestors, who could not have imagined the empty world of today.
