My entry for springfriday - A Snake's Head Fritillary (so-called due to the chequerboard patterns resembling a snake's markings). The word 'fritillary' is interesting as it is applied to both flowers and butterflies, it comes from the Latin word for 'dice box' and refers to the distinctive patterned markings of both the flower and the butterfly.
Here is a fritillary butterfly:http://www.fotothing.com/ThorBeverley/photo/05101983813af70271c780a57c2d209b/
