On the 18th of June, by coincidence I found a caterpillar of the Marbled Fritillary and three days later the caterpillar (chenille) was transformed into a chrysalis. Due to the extreme high temperatures all kind of butterfly species started flying. Last year I only saw one or two White Admirals at the same time....this year I saw a lot of them. Most of them were flying around in trees (also searching for females) but in the afternoon some of them came down to the brambles or ground to drink. So next year I hope to find a chenille of the White Admiral as a lot of Honeysuckle is growing near my house too.

Fijn dat de bramenwildernis zijn vruchten afwerpt en deze mooie soort aantrekt. Het is wel aardig plezant aan het worden daar!

Bedankt Sjors! En speciaal voor de andere parelmoersoorten heb ik diverse 'wilde' viooltjesoorten geplant/gezaaid dus wie weet komt er t.z.t. nog meer op af. Groetjes, Silvia
