It's not supposed to be difficult, but I sorely needed a better picture of the species. As far as I'm concerned, this one qualifies. I guess it helps if I spend this time of year at home and not somewhere in central or southern Europe.

Let's see...
Carterocephalus silvicola
Ochlodes venatus
Leptidea sinapis
Aporia crataegi
Polyommatus amandus
Plebeius eumedon
Boloria selene
Boloria euphrosyne
Euphydryas maturna
Mellicta athalia
Brenthis ino
Nymphalis antiopa
Polygonia c-album
Lasiommata maera

The list is pretty short, but it was only a 90-minute walk. I suppose it misses about ten other potentials, but the picture of maturna compensates a lot.

Congratulations.... and brilliant!.... we don't seem to see many photos of maturna at all on here impressive Frit is'nt it

Thanks! It is indeed a beauty. I'm still missing E. cynthia, but that's for some other year.
