Silver washed fritillary f.valezina

I came across this form of Silver washed fritillary at Cabilla Woods yesterday and was unsure what species it was but my pal Dave Conway got very excited and was convinced it was the form f.valezina.

This has now been confirmed and is now thought to be only the second record ever in Cornwall.


Here are a few other angles although it failed to give me the "full frontal" view I craved!
