Weak to strong winds, partly cloudy conditions and 20°C (10:58 AM) – similar conditions like on the 24th, with the exception that the winds no longer were cool and I only tool my camera with me while my mother and I were picking cherries.

Two more individual butterflies were observed between afternoon and evening (28.5°C at 6:30 PM).

This is yet-another reason why I won't make the exact locations of my study areas public; such spontaneous destruction by locals and tourists from my own state already cause enough damage.
