These are 2 close ups of wings from recent photos in Switzerland, have I got one of each?




This catty was at the iolas site. any opinions regarding species?

I think you have got one of each there, Paul! The lower is definitely small white but the upper does look very like southern. The fork is missing - a necessary but not sufficient sign - but more importantly perhaps, the scaling on the hindwing is right.

This is southern small white, taken this year:



The catepillar is spotted fritillary:



I'm off to bed now - hope I'll see a few more of your pics tomorrow!!

Apologies to all, I seemed to put this in both photography and overseas!!!

They're photos and they were snapped overseas so I suppose they satisfy both criteria, but I would have posted the message in the "Identification" forum as well to be sure.
