<< The very first butterflies of 2012 seen on the 24th of February !
Seven freshly emerged specimens of Lasiommata megera have just been observed in a garigue near Toulon (a single female shown above left and 6 males). The warm temperatures recorded on the south coast of France these days (18-19°C) manifestly triggered some early emergences. No other butterflies were flying in that place, except some hawkmoths of species Macroglossum stellatarum - Var (France) - 24/02/2012
