Took another day out to search for insects with more or less the same route as two weeks ago. And it was another good day. Best spot today also at Lysekloster with comma butterfly, a few peacocks, a small copper and lots of brimstone butterflies. A bit further to the south I saw my first small tortoiseshell since a very long time. Further some more peacocks here and there and a very worn dark-green fritillary at nordviksvatnet. There some black and common darters as well...
at lysekloster and nordviksvatnet I saw and heard some northern nutcrackers as well as a flyby Grey Wagtail and a Raven.
Hoverflies are keeping me busy, but they are difficult to identify, but I had one stripe-faced drone fly at least...
comma butterfly (note the white c)

common darter. This one looks quite red and seems to have all dark legs, reminiscent of ruddy darter. But the characters seem to fit better on common of the Atlantic form nigrescens
Beautiful photos! Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
