The Marsh Fritillary Butterfly
One of our really colourful Butterflies, the Marsh in England is found mostly in the South West.
It is a species in decline across Europe, but UK is still considered a stronghold.
I normally find it at two locations nearby to where I live, but these are managed habitats and unspoilt.
The Marsh's flight time is mid May to mid July.
Beautiful tapestry of color in those wings.
