Single logs from this month:
Once again, weather conditions were mixed with overall higher humidity and more rainfall towards the end of the month. Additionally, I still was dealing with a kidney stone until the 17th, which largely prevented me from conducting proper field trips. Because of this, I divided my main route into two halves and visited each half on different days.
Species that already were seen in June and returned:

Species that were last seen in May and returned:
Species that were last seen in April and returned:
Species making their first appearances:
---
M. galathea, T. acteon, I. lathonia, C. argiolus and M. jurtina were seen expanding their territories, whereas E. tages kicked off its its very first second generation in my study area.
So far a single observation, C. argiades was a surprising discovery and was hard to identify due to its damaged wings. It doesn't appear to be native to this particular region, yet.
And although P. coridon is doing fairly well, P. bellargus now appears to be struggling. L. phlaeas, which only was observed at the largel-inaccessible southern parts of the Meisel, was low in numbers, yet a stable occurence.
Hundreds of caterpillars of A. io were discovered on the 30th, indicating that August may become a stronger month than July.
