| |  Fritillary ID Please
Hi.
I may have misidentified some pics can you tell me if I am right or wrong?
I think these are Silver-Washed Fritillarys one male and one female.
Thanks Looking |

Yep i agree with you Looking & cherrybee.I was just going to ask you where you saw them,because it's about a month to early for them to be out.But i just looked at your photos exif & saw that these were from 2005
Very nice photos Looking,i really like the one of the male with his beautiful wings open.It's a pity that the thistle in the other photo is over the back of the females wings,but its still a lovely photo.
I haven't seen these butterflies before.But i'll be tracking them down this summer.
Where'd you find yours?
Cheers

You should be able to see it on the left side of this map.

The silver washed fritillaries are common in the New Forest. there are some specific rides near Brockenhurst that are being managed for this butterfly. Typically when I went there last year there werent any about! I did manage to find some else where though. Couldnt get them to stay still long enought to get a good picture though! |

Hello IanS,cheers for posting about these Silver-Washed Fritillarys being at the New Forest.I was planning a trip down there in June/July.So this gives me another incentive to go.
Cheers
