Wildlife Spotting

What else?? ;-)... Thanks for the link! I will keep an eye on this one...

All points taken bayucca! But indeed what else?! BTW, for info, have you seen this key? http://moodle.zhaw.ch/file.php/3755/Tagfalter-Schluessel-Melitaea-neu-A4.pdf

At first sight I would also say Melitaea deione, but not Berisali but Melitaea deione deione. But I am still not happy with that ID, but what else?? Daniele: Look carefully at the spots at the margin of the forewing: No triangles or "bowed cubes", just nice cubes, 2 similar rows, 6th spot larger, following quite a broad and empty stripe, then 1 black stripe, than 1 black stripe (!!) and not a "circled" stripe, than a circled stripe. See what I am mean, I am not really happy with all of Deiones I have seen.

It must have been someone else Pam, but if they are European I'll give them a go Pam... I am having a look at your collection right now:-)

Hi Pam! This one's had me puzzled for a while... let see what bayucca has to say about my suggestion:-)

Brenthis daphne ino should be Brenthis daphne and Brenthis ino, they are two different species. But it is neither of the two. Brenthis has a single row of spots on the forewing. I will try to get closer, but I can already tell you it will take some time and it is a tricky one. I have some IDeas, but I am not yet happy.
