Nostrodamus or pumilio?

Post by David M »

5 different butterflies. Is there a pumilio amongst them?

Taken recently in Albania, where both species fly:

And here is another before the debate starts. I took this in Athens this spring. I have it as pumilio but happy to learn why it may not be

I only have experience of nostrodamus in Spain . Given the variability in both species I still find that nostrodamus gives the impression of being longer . I have never seen both species together though

You may well be right, John. Certainly, the spots are bigger than I'm used to when I see nostrodamus.
