Three days in extreme NW Finland did not yield many pictures as the number of butterflies was exceptionally low despite the decent weather and good timing. Even so, I did manage to get some shots:

Boloria freija - Freija's Fritillary:



Boloria frigga - Frigga's Fritillary


Boloria thore borealis (if the subspecies even exists...) - Thore's Fritillary



However, the best shot was not a fritillary at all, so I've reserved that one for the competition...

Fantastic butterflies! I've not seen any of these species (not even the Swiss thore). One day I will have to go north instead of south in the summer...

Thanks! Coming north is certainly an option. I have to do that again as well, as I still miss a number of species.
