Frit Quiz - take 2

Post by **Pete Eeles** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 9:32 pm

First post failed - so trying again! ...

I'm currently updating the main species pages and always end up with a few photos that can't be classified! For a bit of fun, here's a photo taken by Mark Pike of 2 fritillaries. Location and date deliberately omitted. But what species are they?

I have the answer, but thought you might want to take a stab first

Cheers,

I'm pretty new to this but....

Pearl Bordered?

Hmmm. Not sure what happened there - my pic got zapped!

Should be back to the original pic now!

Here's a clue: They're not the same species

But which is which?

What a remarkable photograph. I'm going for pearl bordered (right) and small pearl bordered.

Sorry, got that wrong! I reckon the pearl bordered is the one on the left.

Correct! Pearl-bordered on the left and Small Pearl-bordered on the right.

Well done!

Cheers,

Aye, great that they are both within the focal range

Great specimens too!
