Titania or Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary
Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2018 8:07 am
Can someone help with an ID please.
At a site in the Doubs Titania's Fritillary (Boloria titania) was flying in mixed company with Small Pearl-bordered Fritillaries (Boloria selene) False Heath Fritillary (Melitaea diamina) and a great many Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis daphne) plus Cranberry Fritillary ( Boloria aquilonaris) rather crowed with Frits.
Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis daphne) or Lesser Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis ino) ?
The open winged shot a Titania or S P B ?
The closed wing shot NO 3 was taken a few minutes earlier,Titania for sure,a real beauty.
