Despite the weather being very much against seeing many butterflies, moths and other insects we did actually end up with quite a good list of species. As mentioned before I had never done a trip abroad like this before so I wasn't sure how easy it would be to see new things. The season, similar to Britain also seemed to be running a little later this year so many of the species we were expecting to see hadn't emerged yet. However, with the cold weather for 2 days I did manage to spot a couple of roosting butterflies and a moth larvae that I'm not too sure of the identity yet. During the warmer days we did find many butterflies on the wing. In the end I did manage enough pictures to put them on 2 posts.
