ARGYNNIS AGLAJA (Linnaeus, 1758)

Dark Green Fritillary
Grosser Perlmutterfalter
Grand nacré

Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Heliconiinae
Distribution: Marocco (Atlas) and almost evrywhere in Europe
Habitat: open meadows, rather humid areas
Size: 50-55mm
Foodplant(caterpillar):Different Viola species

This species is among the biggest Nymphalidae-species. It's always a pleasure to see them appear in July in the alpine areas. I was sitting in the grass when this Argynnis aglaja posed close to me like they do very often on a Red Clover. I was on the same hight as the butterfly and this allows to show very well the typical shut wings. The different Argynnis species look quite alike and the underwings show the differences. Here the red spots which we find on A. adippe or A niobe are lacking.

Bonjour Anne,
Here is another very beautiful image from you of a Lepidoptria in the Alps. I love the clover's detail and soft lighting as well its compliment of the butterflys.
Very colorful...

Ciao Anne,
congratulazioni per il terzo anniversario su TN, mi piace la tua scelta di non pubblicare con una frequenza "consumistica" le tue immagini, ma di riservare loro l'attenzione che meritano per la loro straordinaria bellezza. Ci presenti il lato inferiore dell'Argynnis aglaja, che la rende inconfondibile rispetto alle consimili, in una composizione meravigliosa inondata di luce e di fantastici delicati colori.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona giornata e buon fine settimana
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Bonjour Anne,

Hi Anne,
excellent presentation in great light.
The flowers give a good colour and the butterfly is intensely sucking the flower.
Very nice action shot, with the green straight leaves giving a good graphical effect.

regards,
Foozi
