The photo was taken at Allondon 29th of May. Is it a Melitaea phoebe aberration?
Thank you very much for your help.
Dear Gyorgy,
Females of Melitaea phoebe are quite variable and I would call this an extremely light female rather than an aberration. Below is another similar example. Both females are however rather worn and I suspect they were significantly more coloured when they were fresh.
Best regards,
Vincent
