Queen of Spain Fritillary

that's why !! :D haha ...
these crazy fritillaries ... !
you're absolutely right !
it's the one i've seen
thank you very much for the correct id Daniele !!
:)

@danielle and martin, i am SO sorry i misread that ;) i was much too tired this morning ;) haha

Martin, after checking the dorsal markings I have excluded Argynnis and Boloria as genera. Check my suggestion and see what others think!
On a lighter note I'm sure you've seen these T-shirts :-)

that's right ...
we don't have kangaroos
;D

Caleb: this was spotted in Austria, not Australia.

@danielle: this page says it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_but...

Caleb, a kind reminder to check for distribution before making suggestions. Argynnis hyperbius is not found in Austria or in Europe in general. Thanks :-)

oh, well, i just looked at other photos of it and i think you're right ;) probably not. Well, i don't have time to research more now, if you don't get an ID soon i will try and help later. Hope you get an ID!

no, what a pity - you're right ! but i've seen the ventral colours and they appeared rather like argynnis adippe ... thank you very much for your Suggestion but i strongly doubt that it's the Indian fritillary ... :|

sorry martin, i gave you the wrong reference link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argynnis_hy... is the correct one. This is likely argynnis species. A ventral shot though would help confirm. Do you happen to have one?
