23°C (10:56 AM), weak to moderate winds and not a single cloud on the horizon, this day marked my first full field trip since I passed my kindney stone.

Among the first observations were two females of P. icarus and among the most surprising ones were a single E. tages in Zone II and an eastern burnet in Zone I.
Meanwhile, C. mercuriale still are busy mating. It turned out that I was wrong about less than a handful of individuals which I originally considered to be C. hastulatum – all of them were different variations of the southern damselfly.
On a personal note, I'm glad to finally be able to do my observations again.

Addendum (7:28 PM): As I was getting ready for my appointment at my chosen urologist, one male Vanessa atalanta was resting on the stinging nettle in my yard. Due to the amount of red admirals I already got to see on and/or near it, it is possible that I will be able to spot some caterpillars soon.
