Out of Place. Knapweed Fritillary, Melitaea phoebe, on Tall Fleabane, Erigeron annuus, Bellavista, Chiasso, Switzerland
From Montano Lucino, Italy, I hiked via Drezzo across the hills falling down from Monte Sasso to Chiasso, Switzerland. It's not a really arduous tramp even if you leave the main road; trails are generally well maintained. It's steep here and there, though, so watch your step.
Little clearings with wildflowers, many insects and butterflies. Quite wonderful. Oh, yes! views are very scenic.
I noticed a clearing full of Knapweed and lots of Knapweed Fritillaries. This one, though, preferred - out of place, I guess - the nutrients of Erigeron annuus, Tall Fleabane.
