Orange is the New Green - _TNY_8893

Looking at a silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia, I'm pretty sure almost everybody would initially describe it as "an orange butterfly" and only after that mention that the underside have some green with white streaks.

 

Well here is one which wouldn't get that initial description. Compare it to this shot: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53958792009/ to see how much they can vary in the level of green.
