After a great start this spring the Peacock (dagpauwoog, A io) had a poor 1st gen in July, and the 2nd gen is more or less absent on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects. Numbers are now much lower than in 2024.

Not that long ago in August Buddleia's could be covered with Small Tortoiseshells (A urticae, kleine vos). On eBMS transects and 15min counts (www.butterfly-monitoring.net) this butterfly is now restricted to higher elevations or latitudes. Open squares=counted in that period.

Up to July numbers of Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) were good on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects, but since then they plumeted and now mid-August we have a negative record, as never before there were so few of them counted. This is most probably linked to poor nettle quality.

We had a large 1st gen of the Common Blue (P icarus, icarusblauwtje) on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects. But where the 2nd gen is usually twice as big, in 2025 it was even smaller, probably because of poor foodplant quality as a result of dry conditions in spring. Will we have a 3rd gen?
