EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the ethereal beauty of the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Boloria selene, a delicate and elusive butterfly from the Nymphalidae family. The Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, also known as Clossiana selene, is a member of the subfamily Melitaeini and is native to Europe and parts of Asia. The late R.M. Craske, a renowned lepidopterist, was fortunate enough to amass an impressive collection of these enchanting insects, now preserved in the National Collection of British Lepidoptera. The Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary is characterized by its intricate wings adorned with tiny pearly white spots, which are particularly prominent along the leading edge of the forewings. The undersides of the wings are a rich brown hue with small orange spots, providing excellent camouflage against the forest floor. This butterfly is a brush-footed butterfly, meaning it uses its hind legs to move around, and is part of the larger group of insects known as hexapods, which have six legs. The Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary is a valuable addition to any lepidopteran collection, and its inclusion in the National Collection of British Lepidoptera is a testament to its scientific and aesthetic significance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the delicate beauty and intricacy of the natural world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating its wonders.
