2023-06-15 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Store Høj. The size of the nodal spots can vary considerably, here being larger than normal. There is also a tiny amount of smudging around the wing marks, which might indicate that the animal belongs to the form praenubila which shows dark tinting at the tip of the wings. |
