The Butterfly Foundation in the Netherlands reports today about two subtropical insect species, seen recently in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The oleander hawk-moth was seen in Ostend in Belgium.
This video is about a geranium bronze butterfly (Cacyreus marshalli).
The geranium bronze butterfly is originally from South Africa, but was transported to the Mediterranean region. On 27 August Frank van der Putte saw it on an allotment near Middelburg in the Dutch Zeeland province.
