Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene), Compartment 27, RSPB Loch Lomond, taken by David Palmar. Here is an ID tip if you can only see the upperwing of a fritillary. With a bit of imagination, you should see a black pattern of markings on the leading edge of the left upper forewing, resembling 730, which is a characteristic of both Pearl and Small Pearl-bordered Fritillaries. That distinguishes them from the Dark Green Fritillary, which has a dfifferent pattern in the same place resembling 1338. Depending on your view of the butterfly, you may need to look upside-down to see these patterns.

The Small pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria selene), seen here, can be difficult to distinguish from the Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) unless the underwing is viewed clearly. It does however frequent damper and grassy habitats, unlike the Pearl-bordered. A widespread butterfly in Scotland, pictured here taking nectar from a Marsh Thistle (Cirsium palustre) at Loch Ard, Aberfoyle. Scanned from a slide taken by CE Palmar in 1984.
