Fritillary

Post by MikeG »

Hello, I wonder if anyone can settle an argument over this fritillary. Someone says Dark Green but I'm more inclined to think Pearl Bordered or Small Pearl Bordered? No underwing photos I'm afraid. It was spotted today in Newgale on the west coast of Wales. Many thanks :) Mike G.

Hi Mike
That's a male Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary.
