V. Cardui

[Bastiaan Notebaert]

Last days I had several Vanessa cardui in my garden, and its the first year I have this species in my garden in June. In normal years I have a few from mid-July until the end of august in my garden. Today I had a field trip near my home, and I had a lot of V. cardui, not as much as 1996, but more than all other years since I'm watching butterflies (1992). I had also a very early female second brood P. icarus and an early male Thymelicus lineola. Also Ochlodes venatus, Pieris rapae, Pieris napi.
