Just Orange - _TNY_9144

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 doesn't fit that description. For some reason, the green underside is decidedly un-green and instead match the orange of the dorsal side. Have a look here www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53957578202/ for a shot showing one which is extra green instead
