We thought it would be fun to do a countdown to #Christmas - twelve seasonal songs with a wildlife twist!

Starting this evening with Jingle Bells, sung by Sinatra because, frankly, the golden bells of Rhodes Fritillary deserve none other.

For today (& yesterday that we missed) here's some mud-puddling Black-veined Whites on our Croatia tour by Mike L & a Cardinal Fritillary flight sequence in Serbia by Gillian E.

2 more 2025 tours which generated funds for us to donate to @europebutterfly.bsky.social

One of my highlights of this past year was a return to Hungary, 30 years after I first visited the country.

Back then, my focus was marketing beer (this was work, honestly!) - on this occasion, I was looking for butterflies for @mariposanature.bsky.social:

@scottzona.bsky.social got me thinking about fraseras this morning. This is the only one I've seen, roadside in northern California, being visited by a fritillary friend. I had to take the photos thru a chain link fence.

Good morning and welcome to a new week!

This week's featured tour is Pallas's Fritillary & Late Summer Butterflies of Hungary. The glorious Pallas's may be the star of the show, but the supporting cast is every bit as impressive too... (1/2)

Some highly sought-after species are possible, including four(!) Phengaris large blue sp, and eastern specialities like Lesser Clouded Yellow and Assman's Fritillary. A guaranteed departure, naturally the tour generates a donation to support our friends at @europebutterfly.bsky.social. (2/2)

The slow expansion of the Marbled Fritillary (braamparelmoer, Brenthis daphne) in NL has surprised me, in B and D it easily moves 10-20km per year. Even in de SE the density is still relatively low. Apparently the quality of the habitat in NL is not good enough to move further north.

Worst weather for wildlife photography, windy, dull, and very wet, and while there may be hundreds of Whooper Swans #UKBIrding locally, I'm going to stay dry and decorate the Xmas tree instead

Also, lit up briefly last night #teamMoth 1x LBAM #NoWogan

I've got Xmas songs to arrange too for a gig

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 5, here is a gorgeous Freija's fritillary seen this summer on the @mariposanature.bsky.social trip to the European Arctic. This butterfly was much admired, then much rained on, then relocated and adored once more.

This year, I have (mostly unintentionally) practiced the Underpants Gnomes Theory of wildlife gardening:
Step 1: Acquire native plants
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit!*
But seriously, it works. (Photos from August 26.) #nativeplants #insects #underpantsgnomes

Aphrodite fritillary (Speyeria aphrodite)
Butterfly 2021-25

Good feels guilt
for the hurt and problems caused to others
Evil feels guilt
for getting caught and the harm to themselves

Aphrodite fritillary (Speyeria aphrodite)
Butterfly 2020-62

Injustice is irrelevant for some until it effects that person
Then they often wonder why nobody else cares

If you are looking for the talus fritillary, they are not easy to find! I only saw them because I was on a Jepson workshop there and we were led to them.

It's December and I am happy to announce a new show this month at Dosie Dough, in Lititz, PA. Stop in for some art and delicious baked treats!

We interrupt this fritillary broadcast with me being incredibly predictable.

(& Just in case, that last final image has an OOD link on it. I don't have a Patreon anymore.)

This is the only wild fritillary that grows near me, the classic snakes head fritillary.

Fritillaries sketch vs final.

1. Fritillaria amana (used to be F. hermonis subsp. amana)

My first fritillary was F. caucasica. This drawing of it is also from the specimen pic at fritillaria icones. Still love the grey-blue bloom on the petals.
