Spotted Fritillary - Melitaea didyma

By Mendipman  
I think I saw only one other type of fritillary during the time I was there, this was the predominant species with many in a fresh looking condition, this was the only one I found perched on a flower on the edge of an old bit of waste ground.

Best viewed large.

Many thanks for the votes and comments on the previous upload of the Shieldbugs and especially to Nathan (NDODS), Keith (Niknut), Paul (livinglevel's), Keith (dark_lord) and Alan (Alan_Baseley) for their UA's, so very much appreciated. GrinGrinGrinGrin
