Going on what was said in the last topic, I believe this is a Dark Green Fritillary

I think it could be a Silver-washed Fritillary (female). I've compared the pattern with that in my ID book and it looks "spot" on (excuse the pun). 
But I'm a novice.

I think this is the dark green fritillary as it looks identical to my recent photo .And there is no H pattern on the wing which is a silver washed characteristic as stated by jason in hopping mads other thread.Also silver washed frits do not have the white edge around the bottom edge of the wings.just my opinion  |

Ive just had a look at some of my silver washed fritillary pics and the H theory only seems to fit some butterflies.The dark green fritillary i photographed has a noticable white edge to the rear wings,something nearly all my silver washed fritillary photos do not have or if they do it is very faint. As the H theory does not seem to apply to all silver washed fritillary i am now not so confident . |

Doesn't that "H" pattern you describe only apply to the males of the silver-washed frit? those lines are the sex brands aren't they? My first though looking at the picture was a female Silver-washed as well, but could be wrong.

Its only the males with H patterns, not that I have heard of that description before applying to the scent scales, nice one . Female Silver washed Fritillaries do have a white border although in the photograph this was accentuated by the angle of photograph. The obvious answer to the question is get an eyeful of the underside
