Let's see...
- P. centaurae (N & NW - early July)
- C. silvicola (S - early)
- C. tyche (NW - early July)
- C. hecla (N & NW - early July)
- L. helle (C - early June)
- E. embla (C - mid June / N - early July)
- E. disa (N - early July)
- E. polaris (N - early July)
- O. jutta ("any" moorland - June to early July depending...)
- O. bore (N - early July)
[- O. norna ( NW - early July)] with luck...
- B. chariclea (N - early July)
[- B. polaris (N - June/July)] with luck
- B. freija (S - May / C - early June / N & NW - June/July) South a bit tricky...
- B. frigga (C - June / N & NW - early July)
- B. thore (NW - early July)
[- B. improba (NW - mid July)] A bit tricky and the location takes one day of walking to get ther- e
L. populi (S - July)
For something like two weeks I'd suggest
- flight to Oulu at the end of June
- drive to Utsjoki (1 day - a couple of stops on the way)
- 2 days at Utsjoki (N)
- drive to Kilpisjärvi (1-2 days depending...)(NW)
- as many days as you can spare at Kilpisjärvi (Finland & Norway)
- drive to Oulu (1 day)
- a day trip to Kiiminki (C) for the A. nicias
- flight back from Oulu
That sounds easy, but the weather can make the trip completely worthless. It can also move the flight times by two weeks or so. There are no guarantees in the Northern Finland.
