remegration of V. atalanta

[Bastiaan Notebaert]

Today I had large numbers of V. atalanta flying southward ('remegration'). In my garden I counted on a 15 m wide front 7 butterflies in 20 minutes (13h - 13h20). Later on the numbers were smaller, about 1 butterfly in ten minutes, but around 12h I saw about one butterfly in 2 minutes.
