Nice insect day

Saturday 0208 would be 24 degrees and sunshine. So no hesitations to go out and look after butterflies, dragonflies etc,

Beginning at Os, I worked my way north and checked Lysekloster and Nordviksvatnet. It was above expectations. Especially Lysekloster delivered with many Brimstones, Peacocks and Green-veined Whites. Here also a Golden-ringed Dragonfly, a Northern Viper drinking and two Nutcrackers. At Nordviksvatnet two species of darter were present, Black and Common, the latter probably of the Atlantic form nigrescens...
