Scandinavia includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Åland Islands are part of
northern Europe. It has been found 142 species
butterflies with few immigration species from the
south and east. It is very rare that there is
migration from the west as the North Sea and the
Atlantic is a difficult hurdle to pass.
Scandinavia contains several climatic zones, with
deciduous forests and grasslands in the south,
coniferous forests and swamps midway, mountains
and rocky coastlines in the west and tundra in
the north where summer is very short and some
years absent. |
