Silver-washed Fritillary - (Latin: Argynnis paphia) in Termessos National Park

Although it is the beginning of October, and the butterflies should have ended their activity a long time ago, due to the warming of the climate, they are still very active. This beautiful Pandora was photographed collecting nectar from a mountain flower on a sunny and warm autumn day

$Brenthis daphne, the marbled fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nBrenthis daphne has a wingspan of 30–44 millimeters. Wings are rather rounded, the basic color of the upper side of the forewings is bright orange, with an incomplete black marginal band. The underside of the hindwings have a yellowish postdiscal band and the marginal area is completely suffused with purple, with a marble effect (hence the common name). The quadrangular patch on the underside hindwing is partially shaded orange pink to outer side. The chrysalis has two dorsal rows of thorns with bright spots and a bright metallic shine.\nThis species is very similar to the lesser marbled fritillary (Brenthis ino), but the latter is slightly smaller and the coloration of said patch is completely yellow.\nBiology:\nThe butterfly flies from late May to early August depending on the location. The eggs are laid separately in July on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae feed on brambles (Rubus fruticosus), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Rubus caesius, Rubus sachalinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis and Filipendula species, while adults usually feed on nectar from brambles, thistles and other flowers. This species is univoltine. It overwinters at the caterpillar stage in the egg shell. \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis widespread species is present in the Palearctic ecozone from the southern parts of the continental Europe (northern Spain, southern France, Germany, Italy and eastwards to Slovakia and Greece), up to Caucasus, western Siberia. It prefers warm and sunny forest edges, woodland and bushy areas where the host plants grow, at an elevation of 75–1,750 meters above sea level (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

Sipping nectar from thick stemmed aster on Mount Washburn, an orange Mormon fritillary enjoys the last days of summer in Yellowstone National Park Wyoming.

A vibrant Mormon fritillary butterfly rests atop yellow flowers, feeding on nectar, with its orange wings contrasting beautifully against the greens and yellows of the Colorado Rocky Mountain landscape.

In close-up, with its wings wide open, at first glance the butterfly looks more like a large bird of prey. In fact, it has its proboscis inserted deep into the style of the flower and fed on pollen. It has the allure of a real predator, though
