Dark Green Fritillary DSC_2413
Dark Green Fritillary, (male) / mesoacidalia aglaja. Lindrick Common, S. Yorkshire. 09/07/17.
This male DGF was just beginning to look a little worn.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The top left forewing shows some of the colourful wing scales have been worn off. Also, two areas of the same wing's margin are missing, most probably due to getting snagged on something sharp like bramble thorns.
