Temperatures in the 20s (forecast to reach 30 next
week), blue skies and approaching the middle of June means that my eyes are gazing
more and more down rather than up. The variety of both butterflies and
dragonflies has increased greatly in just the last week although it has to be said
that there is not a large number of individuals (yet).
This week I have seen 23 species of butterfly in
Oslo which is a very respectable total. Here are pictures of the most exciting
species.
