Indian Fritillary (female)

Argynnis hyperbius

Description:

I saw this Fritillary flying along a path in a forested area behind my friends house in a Tokyo suburb, but I didn't have my camera with me. When I went back early the next day, it (or a similar female) was basking on leaves close to the path and 'allowed' me to take a couple of photos.

Habitat:

Seen in a park in a residential area of Chiba, Tokyo.

My comments keep disappearing so thanks again Ashley. Most unexpected, I must say. It put a smile on my face.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
