Silver-washed Fritillary butterfly (Argynnis paphia), Sanguisorba hakusanensisseen at Beth Chatto Garden
A 3 hour wander around Beth Chatto Garden today.
I was very surprised to come across this female Silver-washed Fritillary. I had no idea these butterflies were to be found here.

Such a good year for butterflies just now. All of these, along with about 30 others, were feeding on a single buddleia plant. #silverwashedfritillary #peacockbutterfly #smallwhitebutterflies #butterflies #Yorkshire #beautiful #colours #patterns #buddleia #nature #macro #insects
