  1. Where was it taken? (set country) Looks like Argynnis sp. Probably Argynnis aglaja. Nice capture! Cheers* Posted 9 years ago
    1. If it is American like the other photos it could be a Speyeria sp.

      1. Ah, ok! Probably Speyeria cybele, no? The Genre Spreyeria does not occur in Portuguese territory. Thanks for the clarification, best compliments, cheers* Posted 9 years ago
  2. Cool little photo bomb indeed, quite a tiny crab spider. Posted 9 years ago
