- Close examination of the markings
is required when identifying most European fritillaries, including the High Brown Fritillary Fabriciana adippe.
This Butterfly Conservation European Butterflies reference: http://www.european-butterflies.org.uk/downloads/EURO%20FRITS%20GUIDE.pdf offers
excellent guidance, and it should enable most European fritillaries to be
identified from clear photographs – if the appropriate features can be seen.
It is easy to get them wrong as the markings may be almost identical,
albeit variable, between closely related species, and since he discovered
it, the author has been carefully cross-checking old photographs for
misidentifications! There have been some recent reclassifications in the
light of DNA sequence analysis too. There are many beautifully illustrated
reference books available for students of for butterflies but looking at a
high-resolution PDF enlarged on a computer screen offers distinct
advantages when making any direct comparisons with the details in photographs.
The final illustration shows the broad sex-brands on the forewings of a
male clearly. The photographs were taken in Switzerland and Italy.
