Things seem to be a bit quiet on this forum at present, so can anyone identify this.
(I know what it is!)

Is it a UK species?
If not, I give up.

I'm a bit confused by the combination of colours, but I'll plump for Grizzled Skipper.

Well done Neil. Here is a photo taken 13 seconds earlier. I apologise for the over-exposed flower.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for pointing this out. I have never seen one, so I assumed it was a fritillary because of its name. Silly me!

I have not seen one either, but it was called a fritillay because of its fritllary like markings that makes it look like a small fritillary even though its not related to any of the fritillaries.Thanks for pointing this out.
