That’s not a picture of a Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia), CtSO: it’s a Small Pearl-Bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene).

Nice colony of these lovely critters at Chambers Farm Wood in Lincs. One of its former names is the ‘Greasy Fritillary’ due to its fondness for things such as the Stipe Records Showcase. Also was once seen coming out of a Styx gig, apparently.
