Welcome to the second newsletter of 2019!

The drought – at least on the Highveld – appears to be over; the Brown-veined White (Belenois aurota) migration has passed its peak, but is still going strong. Unfortunately, the rain is too late for our rare local butterflies, such as the Highveld Blue (Lepidochrysops praeterita), but here’s hoping that there will be lots of late-summer butterflies in the months ahead. Please support the newsletter and forward photographs, trip reports or comments to jchdobson@gmail.com
