Widespread throughout Europe and northern Asia, this delightful little butterfly gets its name from the row of silver-pearly markings along the edge of its underwing.
In the UK its numbers have declined rapidly, making it a highly threatened species. Its preferred habitat is grassy bracken, which is exactly where I found it, not too far from my home town near the the English/Welsh border.
Thank you for all your comments which are highly appreciated.
