At first glance,it,s one of the Fritillaries,but my references don,t cover Rahman,s Homeland.:-CThe nearest I can find,that is found on the N/African coast is the High Brown Fritillary.I thought also maybe a Silver Washed,but again I,m not familiar with the local species.:h?: Great shot,I can,t wait till ours start showing.!!! :-O

That's just lovely Rahman. Great macro work to get both the butterfly and flower in focus.

Hello again Rahman, the more I look at your superb photo the more I,m convinced it,s a Silver Washed Fritillary,In my part of World I,ve only seen and photographed one,which was a male,the one in your picture is,I believe, a female, as it doesn,t carry the horizontal black scent lines on the forewings.One of my "goals" this year is to find some more of this large fritillary and get a picture of a female for my "album" :eek!:
Roly. :-O
