[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Speckled Wood, Pararge aergeria.

The Speckled Wood is very widely distributed in Europe, but appears in two different sub-species. In this collage I have illustrated butterflies from both Italy and England so that the colour differences can be easily seen.

The two upper images were taken in Turin and show the nominate sub-species. The colour of the upperside speckles is quite an orange colour. The lower two images were taken last week in England and show the Northern sub-species P. a. tircis which has a much paler spot colour on the upperside.

The exif data relates to the top left image. All the pictures have been cropped and resized for TN.

Hello Alan,
All photos this species are done exactly, sharpness, colours and light gave very good result. I think that this on the left top corner is most artistic.
Best regards, Pawel
