Thanks for those words of wisdom, David.
This morning I encountered my first Small Skipper #43 of the year. In fact there were several of them. Here's one on a
Aphyllanthes monspeliensis flower.
An unexpected sighting was of a female Clouded Yellow, unexpected as I hadn't seen one for quite a time.
These last few days I had been looking for Spanish Festoon larvae, and today I found one on the same
Aristolochia pistolochia plant as I had seen some on last year.
Just one Wood White,
and one Southern White Admiral.
Once again there were more Provence Chalkhill Blues than anything else, including this mating couple.
There were a few Heath Fritillaries around.
Also seen: several Pearly Heaths, a few Small Heaths, many Adonis Blues, a Glanville Fritillary and a Meadow Brown.
