2023-05-15 Kongelundsområdet, Denmark Imago Nordskoven. 1.generation. First this year, and two weeks later than last year is quite late. Like last year only a single animal was present and resting and warming up on the left-over grasses from last year. No feeding flowers present here it seems. |

Lars Andersen, danske-natur.dk, adds sex to his photos of the species but with no comments. I can't find any information online about how to separate them besides that females are bigger than males.
