Insects around Copenhagen
Copenhagen, Capital Region, Denmark
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Copenhagen (55° to 60° latitude, 10° to 15° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all insects records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).

No insects arrived here in these weeks last year, as far as the records show.
Expected in the next six weeks
No arrivals expected here in the next six weeks, going by last year.
