Dark Green Fritillary

[grumpy]

Took this photo at Arnside Knott this year whilst looking for HBF. Didnt get many HBF pics and all were topside shots, darn things would not sit still!
This individual which I take to be DGF shows whiteish patches to the forewings, is this a normal variation?


Cheers

Female Dark Greens generally have a silvery tint towards the wing edges, Dave, though yours seems to have it concentrated near the apex of the forewing.

Thanks David, sorry for the delay in my response , will have to go back another time for HBF!
