Last year on my local patch in St Petersburg, Russia, we were lucky enough to find this species in abundance. From it discovery on 18th July it soon became the commonest of seven regular Fritillaries on site.
Looking at Tolman and Lewington, we are outside the stated, permanent range of this species and I has assumed that they were irruptive migrants, however, we have found the species again this year.
Is it that they move annually in to our region or have they now populated further North permanently along with Map Araschnia levana and Purple Emperor Apatura iris.
Apologies, that's the wrong pic, that's Silver Washed......don't know how to delete it?
