Year Report 2015

BUTTERFLIES

  • Strange enough, during this summer Loistokultasiipi (Lycaena virgaureae) appeared to be very rare, whereas in general it is one of the most common species which is present almost every year.
  • Also, Ketohopeatäplä (Argynnis adippe) was missing this year. It seems hard to overlook this large butterfly.
  • The in general very rare butterfly Kirjoverkkoperhonen (Euphydryas maturna) was in 2015 one of the most abundant species.
  • This year, for the first time I observed an Aurinkoperhonen (Anthocharis cardamines), a male (17-07-2015).
