Marsh Fritillary

You're welcome Adriano! It's a pleasure for me to see your spottings as I roam the same mountains on the other side of the border. Should you ever get interested in photographing plants (plants and butterflies go well together :-) ), I will appreciate you adding them to the following mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7785036

Hi Adriano! You're correct. More specifically, you have the subspecies debilis of Euphydryas aurinia, which is the mountain form.
