All being well I will be travelling to Bormio in the first 2 weeks of July to seek out some interesting species I hope. I wonder if anyone has any knowledge of the area they feel they could share. I hope to visit the Stelvio pass, Val Fraele, Santa Catarina areas, and possibly go as far as Trafoi, depending. I will report back in the future, anything interesting or willing enough to make a reasonable photo.

Yes, great images there. That Small Apollo has almost conjoined red spots which is something I haven't seen before.
