Pearl-Bordered Fritillary

[Simon Coombes]

Hi

Pearl-Bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) has been flying for a while,
I saw them on a couple of south Dartmoor sites on the 1st and 2nd of May,
they had been reported also from a week earlier. Still the odd Painted lady
Vanessa cardui about, seem to be only on the coast though..
