Vercors browns
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:52 pm
Hi all
A few images from June 2017 in the Vercors area of France (between 800m and 1600m or so, that I'd appreciate opinions on.
The first is clearly either female Wall or Large Wall - I am tending towards the latter - form Adastra perhaps?
The others are various erebia, to which I have had very little previous exposure. There were plenty of almond-eyed and Piedmont ringlets around, that I was fairly confident with; plus the odd Arran brown, but I'm less sure about these three, which aren't in the best of condition. My guesses are that the first two are common brassy ringlet; and the third may be the same or may be bright-eyed ringlet.
Grateful for any thoughts.
Rupert
