Dark Green Fritillary
Argynnis aglaja

This large and powerful butterfly is one of our most widespread fritillaries and can be seen flying rapidly in a range of open sunny habitats. The males look similar to the High Brown Fritillary, which is far rarer but sometimes flies with them on bracken-covered hillsides. The two can be distinguished from the underwing markings, visible when they are feeding on flowers such as thistles.

Hi Horia,

Lovely macro capture of the dark Green Fritillary with superb details!
The light green BG gives great contrast to the golden yellow colored butterfly, and thereby it works very well for such kind of subject...very well seen! The sharpness and POV are perfect.
Very well done, my friend!

best regards,
Paras

Hello,
This is a superb shot.The right camera is the key to success and you have used your camera with great skill because after the camera comes the real hard work of catching a butterfly unawares. Thanks for sharing....warmest regards/Abid

Hello Horia,
A fine picture of Argynnis aglaja, a butterfly I know quite well and which I like to see flying fastly over our alpine meadows.
Simple but very efficient shot. Excellent sharpness and pleasing blurred background.
Kind regards
Anne
