Hi

I believe the island of Saaremaa is good for certain butterfly species such as Black-veined White,Large Wall Brown,Amanda's Blue,Geranium Argus and Chestnut Heath. Clouded Apollo does occur in some isolated localities and i read somewhere that close to the russian border in odd valleys but i can't confirm this positively.
