A walk in the Rhône Valley
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 6:39 pm
After all the foul weather we've been having it was nice to see the sun again and take a train trip along the Rhône Valley. Here are a few highlights from a couple of sites:
Provençal fritillary (Mellicta deione), subspecies berisalii.
A Queen of Spain (Issoria lathonia), with lady in waiting.
A marbled fritillary (Brenthis daphne).
A marbled skipper (Carcharodus lavatherae).
Green-underside blues (Glaucopsyche alexis) still on the wing.
Safflower skipper (Pygus carthami).
Black-veined white (Aporia crataegi).
Ilex hairstreak (Satyrium ilicis).
A territorial southern white admiral (Liminitis reducta).
A turquoise blue (Plebicula dorylas).
A fresh comma (Polygonia c-album), form hutchinsoni.
An Essex skipper (Thymelicus lineola).
Still no Lulworths, Martin...
