Hi LEPS-netters

In Denmark we are experiencing a very big immigration of the Red Admiral, 
Vanessa atalanta. Since late May the species has increased it's numbers, and
now Red Admirals are observed almost everywhere, either territorial (males)
or egg-laying females, slowly moving north.

Painted Ladies and Silver Y's are also observed in good numbers, but nothing 
like 1996!

kind regards
