Glanville Fritillary (Melitaea cinxia)

I have been a little distracted recently with the emergence of Butterflies, so my postings to this forum have been non existent.
But I now have some photos to share.
I start with the Glanville Fritillary which has a very local/restricted range and I believe it's stronghold on the Isle of Wight which has recently been caterpillar fodder for the Great Spotted Cuckoo.
Hope you enjoy.
