I wasn't sure at first but I managed to take a look at both Zone III and Zone II. With few clouds, weak to moderate winds and a tolerable 21.5°C (11:16 AM), I did not regret spending a little more time at each spot.

While no blue was observed a day prior, one P. icarus was seen near my village's playground, which is juts a few meters away from my home. And while P. coridon has just started its season, P. argus appears to be migrating to Zone III.
A. hyperantus, which I observed only once last year, not only recovered wonderfully but expands to new territories. C. mercuriale largely migrated to Zone III and two individuals were seen in the midst of copula.
Surprisingly, only one M. jurtina was seen, whereas T. sylvestris pretty much vanished. The few individuals I was able to get a close look at undoubtedly were T. lineolae (which should be the correct Latin plural, if I remember correctly). So far, it remains uncertain when – and whether – C. hastulatum will be seen this year.
