Field Notes

Notes:

Eigentlich sind die Flügel des Falters kräftig gefärbt, dieser hier scheint aber schon etliche Schuppen verloren zu haben, die Flügel wirken halb-transparent und von "rot" kann man auch nicht mehr sprechen. ////////// Normally the wings have vibrant colours, but this butterfly seems already to have lost many scales, the wings are half-transparent and there's not much "red" left.

the confluence of the red wing markings makes Z. trifolii a more likely id.
