One of my favourite butterfly moments of any spring is seeing my first male Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) patrolling low over the flowers of a woodland glade, looking for females.
However, the first euphrosyne that I saw this year was a fresh female conveniently posing on a bluebell.
Here are some images of that moment as well as photographs of some other spring species.
