Please, join the new mission of European butterflies and moths and post all your corresponding spottings. We need a lot of people which would join the group to make it global! Thanks and best regards from Switzerland!

Yes, this one is definitely found in the Alps. There are also many other fritillaries similar to this one flying there...

This is too far north for the plain tiger Ashish. In Europe they are only found just around the Southern meditarranean.

This site is excellent for butterflies in the Alps by the way. Worth a look. Can't look into it much myself at the moment as I am on the go with poor connections...
