Melitaea caledussa or deione


Déposé par Gyorgy, le 05.06.2022

These photos were taken at Les Follatères 4th of June. Is it a Melitaea caledussa or deione (or something else) :) ?
Thank you very much for your help.

Dear Gyorgy,

This is Melitaea deione. The « arcs noirs épaissis au centre » within the margin of the hindwing is a critical criterion.

Best regards,

Vincent
