It was the million-pound question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire - and all the readers of the Herald Leader would have known the answer!

For the quiz last week asked one player: "Which of the following is not a moth?"

Among the four possible answers was the tell-tale "speckled wood", the butterfly featured the previous day in the Tamworth paper's page three picture (below), nestling on a nettle leaf.

But the contestant wasn't quite as well-briefed as Herald Leader readers and decided to stick with the £500,000 he had already won.

The question caused excitement in the West Midlands, when a local councillor recognised the name from the picture taken by Paul Barber at Borrowpit Lake, near Tamworth.

He phoned Paul, who has been taking pictures for the paper for the past 20 years, so he could share the excitement of the show.

The speckled wood appeared as part of the free newspaper's feature, which brightens up page three with colourful countryside scenes.
