Picture No. 10890455 and Picture No. 10890454 capture this adult butterfly in all its glory. Venturing to Oxfordshire, England in July, we find the Dark Green Fritillary making its presence known. Here it finds solace on flowerheads and indulges in nectar from Red Valerian (Centranthus ruber) flowers, showcasing its vibrant wings against nature's colorful canvas. Delicate yet resilient, these captivating creatures also choose to rest upon scabious flowers and even among leaf litter during their pupa stage. In May, Oxfordshire becomes their sanctuary as they transform into magnificent adults ready to take flight and grace us with their ethereal beauty once more. Powys, Wales welcomes us with open arms as we encounter an adult female Dark Green Fritillary basking on a fern frond under the early morning sunshine in July. Its underside reveals intricate patterns that add another layer of fascination to this already awe-inspiring species. June brings us back to England where our winged friend delicately feeds on a flower - a moment frozen in time that showcases both elegance and purpose.
