The Glanville Fritillary

You're welcome Ivan. You have a beautiful collection and we'll be looking forward to see more from you! There is also a mission for European butterflies and moths you may want to join and add your suitable spottings to: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8574613 Hvala!

This is a superb close up! :-)

Yes, I could see the difference only after a few minutes of careful examination. Thanks and good you noticed the mistake otherwise it would have passed :).

Thanks Faredin! The main difference is that on M. phoebe the dots inside the hindwing submarginal orange row are red, while they are black on M. cinxia.

@ Daniele, of course you are right I can not judge your suggestions but they look really similar so it's easy to mix them :). @ Ivan, ova peprutka ne je 'Melitaea phoebe', ova je 'Melitaea cinxia' kako sto imat napisano Daniele. I na angliski se vika: 'Glanville Fritillary'. Izvini sta ti napisav komenti na site sliki :).

Hi Ivan! I believe this is Melitaea cinxia and not Melitaea phoebe. Here is another reference: http://www.eurobutterflies.com/species_pages/cinxia.htm Faredin, if you agree perhaps you can help translate? Many thanks in advance.
