As the end of the year is right around the corner and the wet season set to continue for at least another week, I've begun to plan the next season and possible extensions to my observations.
The main zone and its surrounding areas I already observe on an irregular basis will remain the same, with the minor addition being more walks during cloudy days, as this proved beneficial during my observation of T. betulae this year.
The poorly-studied "bog hill" will be visited a little more often and extended to the smaller, also protected part of the hill to the north.
While it's still not decided whether or not I'll return to the Meisel Forest, a new location 15 kilometers west of my village will be an area of special interest for the season of 2024. As this area has not been studied at all by anyone, I'll have to visit it more than once just to document its flora.
The butterflies lists will be extended to include burnets (Zygaenidae) and a table summarizing all years in which each species has been observed. The latter will also be applied to the lists of damsel- and dragonflies.
As my knowledge regarding moths other than burnets remains to sparse, they will not be included in the butterflies list but will receive mentions in the monthly summaries like other insects and spiders.
In terms of flora, an extensive list of plants inhabiting each zone is not planned. It already isn't easy to manage this capsule at this stage and more lists would make it too cluttered. Important observations will be mentioned in the monthy summaries.
Already having mentioned it twice without further elaboration, the season of 2024 will introduce monthy summaries, replacing the yearly summary used for the season of 2023. Yesterweb doesn't tend to handle long posts such as the summary of this year well and causes some error messages.
I'm still toying with the idea of including a tiny selection of my shots, so they may or may not be included in the future.
It should be mentioned that some plans still are rather loose ideas and may depend on the weather and other responsibilities I need to fulfill. Nevertheless, this is a broad summary of what to expect starting 2024.
