Ahoj Honzo!
Great capture - two beauties in one shot. Fritillary looks more 'royal' but Map is also very nice. Good composition and moment. I didn't saw Map butterflies of second generation yet.

Hi Jan,
two buterflies in the same picture, it''s a nice view.
Well composed, good details and well composed,
Well done.

Hello Jan,
very pleasant, peaceful coincidence of these two species feeding on Eupatorium which seems to be a favourite feeding plant of many butterflies in mid and late summer. Both butterflies and the blossom are sufficiently sharp, and there a very beautiful natural light with moody deep shadows that creates well saturated rich colours.
Thank you, and best regards,
Peter

Hi Jan
Great shot with perfect sharpness. Unfortunatelly I've never hear that the primary foodplant for this species is Urtica...
All the books I've describes that the primary foodplant is Viola spp.
