Dark Green Fritillary Butterfly (Argynnis aglaja) Tonight on the southern coastline of the UK, it was dark at 8pm and already I&#039;m pining for the fjords......

Dark Green Fritillary Butterfly (Argynnis aglaja)

Tonight on the southern coastline of the UK, it was dark at 8pm and already I'm pining for the fjords...... I mean, for the long summer evenings spent in wild meadows around Brighton, surrounded by hordes of butterflies, one of the most striking being the Dark Green Fritillary.

Widespread, but not always easy to find as they don't tend to be seen in rural areas. Certainly not in a significant numbers.
