Bur I must confess that sometimes (like now probably) this does not work correctly


If my Google skills are working
Dark Green Fritillary = argynnis aglaja = Grote parelmoervlinder
Queen of Spain = Issoria Lathonia = Kleine parelmoervlinder

Does anyone know the name of this little fella? He's sitting on a common nettle.
Thanks!


In the UK he is called a Speckled Wood.

@haha - Your images have me regretting that I sold my a100 a few months ago. That sensor really does produce wonderful images.

Fantastic images , haha. Lovely composition and backgrounds. The butterfly is a Painted Lady, vanessa cardui

That plastic fantastic is a great lens. I'm not convinced my Sony 100/2.8 gets me any better results than my old Cosina 100 did.

This probably is a green fritillary, but if I'm wrong I'll be grateful to anyone correcting me,
for my knowledge of butterflies is limited and of their english names even less:

Very nice picture! It's either a Dark Green Fritillary Argynnis aglaja, Niobe Fritillary [Argynnis niobe or High Brown Fritillary Argynnis adippe. They look very similar from the top, but I have a feeling this is a High Brown . (I'm not an expert though: I'd never seen a High Brown before three weeks ago, and was convinced that was Dark Green until a real expert corrected me! And we don't get Niobe's in the UK)
