Marbled white
This species is distributed across much of Europe, but is absent from Portugal, most of Spain, most of the Mediterranean islands, and Scandinavia. Beyond Europe it occurs in northern Africa, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
There are 6 other very similar Melanargia species that occur in Europe with which the butterfly can easily be confused. In the French Pyrenees the butterfly is known to regularly hybridise with the Iberian Marbled White Melanargia lachesis, producing infertile offspring.
A million thanks to all of you for your kind support, you inspire me a lot through your wonderful, brillant, marvelous pictures
