2022 was my first year of observing butterflies in my area. Unfortunately, this year was also marked by drought lasting from early spring to mid-autumn, so some species were stronger represented and easier to spot than others.
Overall 28 species could be determined with absolute certainty. Of three species, both adult and caterpillar forms were present while no eggs were found.
This list is sorted by meteorological seasons and first observation. Caterpillars are listed separately.

+ The area in which I discovered this individual used to be one of the last
remaining habitats of Polyommatus thersites, which was declared missing since
2011. Unfortunatly, only checking its genitals is suffient to distinct it from
Polyommatus icarus.
++ Spotted several kilometers outside of my study areas in my grandparents' garden.
