Pyrenees Day 6 Ossoue Valley

Thursday was the only day where rain somewhat interrupted our activities. After a long drive along a very rocky track, we arrived at the top of the Ossoue Valley and set off to look at the orchid meadow and search for butterflies. Just as we arrived a thunderstorm broke and we retreated to the van. The White asphodel (Asphodel albus) dominated the landscape. Luckily, it cleared in time for our picnic and an afternoon in the valley. My favourite finds were a Small Spreadwing damsefly and a Bagworm Moth (Psychidae) caterpillar.
