$The silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia) is a common and variable butterfly found over much of the Palearctic realm – Algeria, Europe, temperate Asia, and Japan.\nDescription:\nThe silver-washed fritillary butterfly is deep orange with black spots on the upperside of its wings, and has a wingspan of 54–70 mm, with the male being smaller and paler than the female. The underside is green, and, unlike other fritillaries, has silver streaks instead of silver spots, hence the name silver-washed. The caterpillar is black brown with two yellow lines along its back and long reddish-brown spines. \nThe male possesses scent scales on the upperside of the forewing that run along veins one to four. The scent produced from these scales attracts females and helps to distinguish it from other species. \nFood resouces:\nAdults feed on the nectar of bramble, thistles, and knapweeds, and also on aphid honeydew. The silver-washed is a strong flier, and more mobile than other fritillaries, and, as such, can be seen gliding above the tree canopy at high speed. Its preferred habitat is thin, sunny, deciduous woodland, especially oaks, but it has been known to live in coniferous woodland. \nThe main larval food plant of the species is the common dog violet (Viola riviniana).\nLife Cycle:\nWhen the egg hatches in August, the caterpillar immediately goes into hibernation until spring. Upon awakening, it will drop to the ground, and feeds on violets close to the base of the tree. The caterpillar usually feeds at night, and usually conceals itself during the day away from its food source, but during cool weather will bask in the sunny spots on the forest floor on dry, dead leaves. It will pupate amongst the ground vegetation, and the adults will emerge in June (source Wikipedia). \n\nThe Picture is made along a small River in the Eifel (Germany) in halfway August 2021.$

$Achillea millefolium, commonly known as White Yarrow or Common Yarrow, is a graceful perennial flower that produces an abundance of huge, flat clusters, packed with creamy-white flowers. They are born on tall stems atop an aromatic, green, fern-like foliage. Both flowers and foliage are attractive and long lasting, making White Yarrow a wonderful garden plant and a great choice for prairie or meadow plantings.\nIt is a rhizomatous, spreading, upright to mat-forming. Cultivars extend the range of flower colors to include pink, red, cream, yellow and bicolor pastels.$
