This is a top view of the same specimen I posted
HERE in a funny front view, and some info about it.

You can notice the tiny spider that was waiting for a prey on the flower and disturbed by the landing of this monster. It had to sheltered dowstairs :D
If you look carefully you will also find the spider in the first shot :)


After looking quite a lot for the Id. Euphydryas aurinia was the final conclusion, but as usual, I am open to any other opinions.

Hope you like!

Felipe!
This is just AMAZING! Great shoto of this wonderful butterfly! Just perfect shot!

An excellent capture. I would agree on the ID, commonly known as the Marsh Fritillary here in UK. Excellent pov, another razor sharp image and the spider peeping round the petal is an extra bonus!
Well done and thanks for posting.

Hi Felipe, great shot. Very nice details and good composition. I find the Fritillarys hard to ID as often the southern (Spanish) ones can looks different. I think this iD looks Ok to me.
