Queen of Spain fritillary July, 2014. This butterfly is also very common at this time of the year in the nature reserve of Plombières. It may have to do with preferring the flora that grows in this area, which in turn is adapted to a zinc and other minerals-enriched soil. <br />

I'm wondering if you ever tour around France as well? For some reason we have surprisingly few photos from there. Posted 9 years ago
