With sunny conditions, a slight breeze and 13°C (11:48 AM), I decided to go outside again before the temperatures are set to drop sharply. Just like yesterday, I was forced to skip Z II due to the same guy, alongside David, preparing David's fields.
This was the first time I ever saw a P. c-album this early into the year, given its previous pattern that made it a typical summer species in my area. Next to the equal amount of both male and female A. cardamines was the sheer dominance of A. io in all zones, once again highlighting this species strong 2024 generation.
Disappointingly no signs of N. polychloros so far.

Minor (?) correction: Back in March I mentioned the first appearance of what I assumed to have been a P. rapae. Since this observation wasn't made by me but rather my mother who failed to get a closer look at this individual's wings, it is more likely that it was female A. cardamines.
