Sadly this will be similar here in the UK, terrible year for butterflies. Help us by doing the Big Butterfly Count, negative records are important too! #savebutterflies #BigButterflyCount
2024 shows very low numbers of summer butterflies on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects. Of course the season isn't over yet, but I don't expect the numbers to rise a lot in the coming weeks. I also compared with all previous years and then this max is the lowest since 1990.

Lets hope sense prevails and Europe isn't faced with a tragic species extinction
The Macedonian Grayling (P cingovskii) only occurs at one site in N Macedonia: a true endemic. It lives on Marble rocks and is threatened by quarrying. Recent new quarries threaten the butterfly with extinction.
