Picture taken at Ina river near Zabrodzie village.
The Dark Green Fritillary (Speyeria aglaja) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. Wingspan: 50-57 mm. It is often seen, on pastures and flowery banks, and nearby areas where the preferred foodplants for the larvae, Viola canina and Viola riviniana, grow. The Dark Green Fritillary uses violets within Bracken mosaics frequently consisting of one-third Bracken and two-thirds grass, often on the edges of suitable High Brown Fritillary habitat. Their distribution can be found on the nbn website here.

Hello Olgierd,
excelent photo and composition, splendid colors and light,
TFS, best regards,
Nikos.
A beautiful, soft-focus style dorsal capture of a well formed specimen Olgierd, the yellows in the back really make this a splendid composition, however I wonder why this Fritillary is named "Dark Green"?

Hi Olgierd,
It is a beautiful species, photographed in a very proper angle and difficult to obtain. Pity that the approach was not entirely accurate. Did you use AF? in some cases better leverage the manual focus, this may have been one of those.
