Most probably this is Brenthis daphne. Brenthis ino is darker, there are several geographical forms, but ino can be recognized by its small size ( 3 to 4 cm wingspan ) and solid black margins to the on the wings. These butterflies have a weak flight. The ino's caterpillar is black with double white stripe and an orange-brown spines along its back. Ino's caterpillar feeds on meadow sweet ( Filipendula ulmaria) , raspberry and great burnet, its widespread across marshy areas of Europe, but not the British isle. The range extends from temperate Asia including Northern Philippines to japan. That how I'm familiar with ino but not with daphne.
sheka, any ideas on these other spottings, if they are Brenthis daphne ino or Brenthis daphne? I am checking with bayucca also... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12983063 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12685632 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12672328 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12689582
I mean Lesser Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis ino). I misspelled it in my first comment.
I think based on my father's drawings, its a lesser marbled Fritilliary (brethis ino). Not so sure .
