Observations June 2017

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The observations also indicate what we did: early June we went to Stellendam, where there are many nature reserves. Then we sailed to Vlieland by boat where we stayed for a few days. And the species names describe the area: a coastal leaf-cutter bee and a dune robberfly. Islands often have their own biotope with the associated species.
