Silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia) – Bentley Wood, UK. ID DSC_2020

 

Another visit out of Somerset to Bentley Wood.  This time I was very lucky to see the valezina form of the Silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis raphia).  Not sure how rare this variant is but I was on the lookout for it and as usually the best place to look was near the car park.
