Heath Fritillary (F)
An extreme aberrant female from Greenscoombe Wood in Cornwall (UK). Walking up through the woodland, I couldn't believe my luck, this stunning beauty was the first Fritillary we spotted as we emerged on to the open hillside! A remarkably fresh specimen for so late in the season!
Heath Fritillaries are prone to a wide variety of aberrations, many of which are named. However, after consulting the 'British Butterfly Aberrations' website, I was not able to find a suitable match so conclude that this is an unclassified aberration. I would be happy to receive suggestions! (8061)
