| Dark Green Fritillary, Argynnis aglaja |
On Wednesday morning I visited Fairmile Bottom and met Neil Hulme who was also in pursuit of Dark Green Fritillaries. We saw many in flight and Neil was able to offer me a view of one roosting. Also seen were a Painted Lady, Meadow Browns, late emerging Grizzled Skippers, Marbled Whites, Common Blues and Large Skippers. Moths seen: Burnished Brass, Cinerous Pearl, Cinnabar, Common Plume, Dingy White Plume (Merrifieldia baliodactylus) - a Sussex rarity, Grey Gorse Piercer, many Hook-streak Grass-veneers, Meadow Grey, Red Piercer, Satin Grass-veneer, Yellow Shell.
