Fritillaries - Savoie
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2017 12:37 pm
I have identified the butterflies in picture 1 to 5 as Heath Fritillaries but am having second thoughts when browsing through Tolman... especially for no 5 as this specimen was a lot smaller than the Heath fritillary.
Picture no 6 is a puzzle for me, the spots on the upper side hindwing indicate that it is Glanville Fritillary but this needs confirmation as it did not look like a Glanville when I took the picture (I thought this was lesser marbled…). I am looking forward to the experts comments....
For info, the first 4 pictures are of the same specimen.
Thank you again for your help and time.
