Ecological Observations

06 April, 2024

With a record-breaking 24°C, this day certainly was something special. Unfortunately, due to sudden change of plans, I was unable to check this year's special out for the first time. I still took the time to make some noteworthy observations in my main study area.

+-------------------------+------------------------------+--------+
| Species                 | Location                     | Status |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+--------+
| Aglais io               | Zone I / II / III / Ag. Ent  | Adult  |
|-------------------------|------------------------------|--------|
| Anthocharis cardamines  | Zone I / II / III / Ag. Ent  | Adult  |
|-------------------------|------------------------------|--------|
| Gonepteryx rhamni       | Zone II                      | Adult  |
|-------------------------|------------------------------|--------|
| Nymphalis polychloros   | Zone II                      | Adult  |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+--------+

The vast majority of butterflies consisted of A. cardamines, with females and males in roughly equal numbers. N. polychloros was seen engaging in "treetopping".

With the upcoming weather changes, I highly doubt that I'll make similar observations for at least a week. However, the sudden appearance of A. cardamines already predicts a promising season.
