High brown fritillary - Argynnis adippe
|
Family: Nymphalidae. Flight Time: June-August. Size: 50-62mm Altitude: 0-2100m |
| The High brown fritillary is fast declining in the UK and is now quite
rare. It is easily separated form the more common Dark green fritillary Argynnis aglaja see notes on that page.
In Europe the Niobe fritillary, Argynnis niobe can cause identification problems. |
