This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Female Silver-washed Fritillary Butterfly as it gracefully feeds on the nectar from Bramble flowers. The female butterfly exhibits the rare valezina colour form, which is found in approximately 15 percent of the population in central southern England. As the largest Fritillary species in the UK, this magnificent creature can be spotted fluttering its wings in broadleaved woodlands across southern England, Wales, and Ireland.

With its wings spread wide open, revealing stunning markings and patterns, this female Silver-washed Fritillary displays a mesmerizing blend of cream and white hues that make it truly stand out amidst wildflowers.
