Aglais is a Holarctic genus of brush-footed butterflies, containing the tortoiseshells. This genus is sometimes indicated as a subgenus of Nymphalis or simply being an unnecessary division from the genus Nymphalis,[1][2][3] which also includes tortoiseshells, but it is usually considered to be separate.[4] This proposed separate genus is also considered "brushfooted butterflies" historically together with the other or separate Nymphalis species.[1]

gollark: That units (GNU/Units?) thing seems very useful. They should advertise it more.

gollark: ... hi?

gollark: Can you just write binaries onto it through the shell they give you? Small ones.

gollark: This is, well, homelab-*adjacent* at least, so I figure I might get some help here: how can I copy my ebooks from Amazon Kindle (the service, I lost my actual physical Kindle) to Calibre? I can access them in the "cloud reader" thing and the Android app (on a rooted device, and also one old enough that it seems okay with storing some app data on SD cards), but have no idea how to import the files stored on there.

gollark: The Gallery app often works okay?
