Painted ladies continue to migrate north

As some of you might have noted, and which I highlighted in another recent blog, the Painted ladies (tistelfjäril) are migration into Sweden in high numbers this spring. Lars Pettersson (lars.pettersson@zooekol.lu.se) at the Department Ecology has compiled an animation showing the movement of observations of Painted ladies in Sweden during late May and early June. Lars has also been interviewed for the radio channel Sound of Science in the UK on the matter. Please find the broadcast and the animation at the following link. www.soundofscience.wordpress.com

Have a Great Summer and I hope you will see many Painted Ladies in the Swedish landscape!
