Welcome to January’s newsletter!2021 has been and gone, and I don’t think too many people will be dismayed to see the back of it. In South Africa, several recent butterfly trips have been hampered by rain and cloudy and cool weather, over large parts of the country; hopefully, this will result in good butterfly emergences in the next few months.Best wishes for 2022 to everyone and I hope you have a Lepidoptera-packed year!
