Re: Unknown caterpillars and Fritillary

I can understand why you identified the Pyrgus as serratulae , but I agree, it is not that. On the other hand, it is very difficult from those views and markings to make an accurate determination. Was it because of the foodplant? Yes, it was. Czech name of Pyrgus serratulae is soumračník mochn ový ...

Re: Unknown caterpillars and Fritillary

Thank you, Guy.

I just have obtained message from Jiří Beneš: The fritillary caterpillar is M. athalia and the hirsute caterpillar is Arctia caja.

I have uncorrectly determinated the Pyrgus on the photos 10606 161 and later; it is not Pyrgus serratulae but P. carthami.

Re: traplican

Thank you Guy, you're right. I am not currently in condition. :oops:

I am going to rectify the legends.

This evening I have snapped a pair of Silver-studded Blues matting opposite to our house (on the slope at the opposite road border, in the front of the school) .

Uknown Fritillary

Today I have snapped a Fritillary and recorded it to my personal diary as Weaver's. But I am not sure because I have only upperside of the wings. It may be Weaver's, Pearl-bordered or Small Pearl-bordered. Can you help me with the determination?
