Pyrenees Erebia
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2019 9:18 pm
I spent a very enjoyable, if hot, 10 days in the French Pyrenees in the last week of June. The erebia were very flighty, but those I got close to turned out almost exclusively to be Piedmont or Bright-eyed Ringlet.
I do have three I'm wondering about - apologies for the appalling quality of the photographs that were taken at some distance. I considered whether the first, taken at the Col du Tourmalet (2100m), might be Lefebvre's Ringlet, given how close the ocelli are to the margin. The other two were taken close to the Chapel de Heas and the hindwing markings made me think possibly Mountain Ringlet.
Any opinions welcome.
