Beautiful pic Brian. Those sculpted wings help camoulflage them when they're closed as they look like dead leaves. Just as well as they hibernate through the winter out in the open. It's not a fritillary though, just a comma (polygonia c-album)

Thanks RM. I did think about doing that but I was worn out from my day out so left it.
