Help with a couple from Italy please.
Help with a couple from Italy please.
Images captured last week in northern Italy, lowland in the Po valley. I'm guessing (!), being more experienced in birds than butterflies, that the larger orange chappy is a Fritillary - Silver-washed? The other has me stumped and I'm still finding the Collins guide a bit intimidating. Any help with identification will be gratefully received - Thanks.

The orange one is indeed a male silver-washed fritillary. The last picture shows a speckled wood.
