$Brenthis daphne, the marbled fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nBrenthis daphne has a wingspan of 30–44 millimeters. Wings are rather rounded, the basic color of the upper side of the forewings is bright orange, with an incomplete black marginal band. The underside of the hindwings have a yellowish postdiscal band and the marginal area is completely suffused with purple, with a marble effect (hence the common name). The quadrangular patch on the underside hindwing is partially shaded orange pink to outer side. The chrysalis has two dorsal rows of thorns with bright spots and a bright metallic shine.\nThis species is very similar to the lesser marbled fritillary (Brenthis ino), but the latter is slightly smaller and the coloration of said patch is completely yellow.\nBiology:\nThe butterfly flies from late May to early August depending on the location. The eggs are laid separately in July on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae feed on brambles (Rubus fruticosus), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Rubus caesius, Rubus sachalinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis and Filipendula species, while adults usually feed on nectar from brambles, thistles and other flowers. This species is univoltine. It overwinters at the caterpillar stage in the egg shell. \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis widespread species is present in the Palearctic ecozone from the southern parts of the continental Europe (northern Spain, southern France, Germany, Italy and eastwards to Slovakia and Greece), up to Caucasus, western Siberia. It prefers warm and sunny forest edges, woodland and bushy areas where the host plants grow, at an elevation of 75–1,750 meters above sea level (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

Acraea terpsicore, the tawny coster, is a small, 53–64 millimetres (2.1–2.5 in), leathery, winged butterfly which is common in grassland and scrub habitats. It belongs to the Nymphalidae or brush-footed butterfly family. It has a weak fluttery flight. It is avoided by most insect predators. This species and the yellow coster (Acraea issoria) are the only two Indian representatives of the predominantly African tribe Acraeini. It is found in India, Sri Lanka to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam

$The photo shows orange/yellow cosmos flowers and a butterfly called Argyreus hyperbius / Indian fritillary.\nNative to Mexico, cosmos sulphureus which is commonly called yellow cosmos is now grown all over including North America, Asia and Europe. This annual plant produces daisy-like flowers with flower colors ranging from yellow to orange to scarlet red. Orange cosmos normally blooms in summer and early autumn in Japan with butterflies circling around the flowers.$

$Lycaena phlaeas is a common resident in the Netherlands. \nHabitat: The species inhabits a variety of places, including rather nutrient-poor, dry grasslands, gardens, roadside verges, Heathland and coastal dunes, generally these are dry areas with sheltered, sunny spots. Surprisingly, however, the highest densities are found in wet, nutrient-poor grassland.\nDistribution: Its distribution hardly changed during the 20th century.\nFlying Season: The Small Copper flies in three generations from the end of April until the end of September and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.\n\n\nThis is a quite common species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$
