Excursion Report 2015 Lepidoptera

After the 2015 season, 1,164 species were detected in the National Park. There are 15,621 fun data, which are derived from 81,650 determinated specimens. For the butterflies, the year was different: a delayed spring, an April with inexplicably few butterflies, may have caused extreme dry periods. But: immediately thereafter, the sector of small butterflies began with unfamiliar numbers of individuals. Small butterflies were dominant at night. Summer was known to bring record temperatures, but high approach numbers were only isolated and not continuous. Autumn with long cool periods was low in individuals, and from mid-September, persistent rainy and cold weather provided little cause for exposure to the night. October fell out, there were very warm sunny days, but the nights were clear and unusually cold.
