Some pictures of the silver-washed fritillary

On my hiking trip in Mittersill I was lucky to find some butterflies on flowers in the mountains. I had my macro lens with me, so I tried to take some shots. But since the weather was pretty warm they were really agile and fled when I came too close. But at least I managed to take some shots that are not so bad at all, still I would have appreciated it more when they cooperated a little better with me. But due to these conditions, it was not really possible to get some better pictures of these beauties. When it is warm, they are really agile and fly from flower to another flower to get enough nectar. On colder days or in the morning, it might be way easier to get some nice close up shots because the butterflies are not so agile.

I only saw them on this violet flower here, and they avoided the other flowers that were blooming there. So I assume this is their favorite one. Either because it has the most nectar or the best one. Unfortunately, this time, the silver-washed fritillary was also the only butterfly species I could take some pictures this weekend. I was a little disappointed by the variety of butterflies here.
