Field trip on April 29th 2007
I did my butterfly route, and along the way, made a few photos. More under the fold.
And here is the list of species I saw/heard today. LBB (little brown birds) and other common things, excluded.
Coenonympha pamphilus
Pieris napi
Pieris rapae
Leptidea sinapis/reali
Gonepteryx rhamni
Callophrys rubi
Glaucopsyche alexis
Papilio machaon
Coenagrion hastulatum (dragonfly - need to recheck since I’m still a novice)
Orthetrum cancellatum (dragofly - need to recheck since I’m still a novice)
Araschnia levana
Everes argiades
Issoria lathonia
Cuculus canorus
Pyrgus malvae/malvoides
Lycaena tityrus
Anthocharis cardamines
Erynnis tages
Listera ovata
and more. ^_^
Heteroptera, and that’s as far as I go. I could probably ID it to family, but I don’t feel like it now.
Lycaena tityrus
An orchid to be. I’ll be following this one!
Papilio machaon egg at about 30 seconds of age. The plant is an apiacean, possibly parsley.
Let’s pretend we don’t see the grasshopper on an orchid (ID still awaits me). *UPDATE*: I’ve identified it as Listera ovata.
Why didn’t I take my binoculars with me?!?!?! I can’t see well enough to distinguis. We have two species, they aren’t very a like, but still.
