Meadow fritillary

Melitaea parthenoides

Description:

Small (some 4 cm wingspan), predominantly orange butterfly with white borders and black pattern. Very similar looking to Grison fritillary, I decided on Meadow, and i don't really know why... (however I'm still not sure about that...)

Habitat:

Here seen on mountain pastures, and on Plantago flowers, pastures bordering edges of mixed mountain forest.
