SILVER WASHED FRITILLARY (ARGYNNIS PAPHIA)

This butterfly is a large fritillary and gets its name from the beautiful streaks of silver found on the underside of the wings. The bright orange male is quite distinctive as it flies powerfully along woodland rides, pausing only briefly to feed or investigate anything with an orange hue that could be a potential mate. The male has four distinctive black veins on its forewings that contain special "androconial" scales that are used in courtship. These veins are known as "sex brands". The female is paler than the male, has rounder wings and more-prominent spots. In England and Wales, the Silver-washed Fritillary is found in woodlands.

A really razor sharp image of another Fritillary from your versatile hands, Marius.
The flawless green BG adds a great deal of charm to the composition.
Thanks.
