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.
