Description
A butterfly of the family nymphalidae named Queen of Spain fritillary or Fritillary butterfly, (Issoria lathonia), sucking nectar with the proboscis from the blue lavender in Uppland, Sweden. Issoria lathonia is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan of 38–46 millimetres (1.5–1.8 in). The wings show a deep orange-violet background, with rounded black spots arranged in regular rows and suffused with greenish gray in the females. The underside of the hindwings is decorated with large pearly nacreous spots and it is crossed by a postdiscal row of black eyespots with pearly pupils. Some pearly spots also appear at the apex of the forewings
