Euphydryas Desfontainii
''Euphydryas desfontainii'', the Spanish fritillary, is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in France, Portugal, Spain, Morocco (the Rif mountains and Middle Atlas) and western Algeria in North Africa. Description The wingspan is 40–45 mm. In ''desfontainii'' Godt. (= ''desfontainesi'' Bdv.), which was separated as a distinct species, because it occurs in the same districts as '' iberica'', the proximal edge of the submarginal band of the forewing is very strongly flexuose, the distal margin bears small light rings or lunules placed in dark hastate spots; the submarginal band is almost so broad as in ''iberica'' and contrasts strongly with the light yellow discal band which stands at its proximal side and is broadly bordered with deep black. In ''baetica'' Rbr. from Andalusia, the submarginal band is so broad that it occupies the external third of the forewing and almost the outer half of the hindwing.

Jean-Baptiste Godart
Jean-Baptiste Godart (25 November 1775 – 27 July 1825) was a French entomologist. Born at Origny, Godart became impassioned by butterflies in his youth. He was charged by Pierre André Latreille (1762-1833) with writing the article on these insects in the ''Encyclopédie Méthodique The ''Encyclopédie méthodique par ordre des matières'' ("Methodical Encyclopedia by Order of Subject Matter") was published between 1782 and 1832 by the French publisher Charles Joseph Panckoucke, his son-in-law Henri Agasse, and the latter's ...''. Godart then undertook his ''Histoire naturelle des lépidoptères ou papillons de France'' publication starting in 1821 and not completed until 1842. In addition to the fauna of France, it also covered exotic diurnal species. Sources IJean Lhoste (1987), ''Les Entomologiste français'', 1750–1950, INRA-OPIE.

Butterflies Of Europe
Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea"), and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago. Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle, as like most insects they undergo complete metamorphosis. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it fli ...

Euphydryas Orientalis
''Euphydryas orientalis'' is a small butterfly found in the Palearctic that belongs to the browns family. Description Difficult to distinguish from some ''aurinia'' forms.Tusov treats ''orientalis'' as a subspecies of ''Arinia'' Seitz- ''orientalis'' H.-Schaff. (65d) is apparently a combination of the two previous ubspecies of ''aurinia''- ''pellucida'' Christ. [''E. aurinia pellucida'' (Christoph, 1893) from the Caucasus (recognizable by the thin scaling, in consequence of which all the colours appear paler and the wings slightly transparent. The markings, however, are as abundant as the colours are weak and inconspicuous) and ''laeta'' Christ [''E. aurinia laeta'' (Christoph, 1893)]( differs from the preceding in the denser scaling and more conspicuous colours, the upperside having a rather chequered appearance in consequence of the strongly developed and several times curved black discal bands; from the Vilui Mts. in Siberia] the upperside being as bright and varie ...

Euphydryas Provincialis
The marsh fritillary (''Euphydryas aurinia'') is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. Commonly distributed in the Palearctic region, the marsh fritillary's common name derives from one of its several habitats, marshland. The prolonged larval stage lasts for approximately seven to eight months and includes a period of hibernation over the winter. The larvae are dependent on the host food plant '' Succisa pratensis'' not only for feeding but also for hibernation, because silken webs are formed on the host plant as the gregarious larvae enter hibernation. Females lay eggs in batches on the host plant and are, like other batch-layers, selective about the location of oviposition because offspring survivorship levels for batch-layers are more tied to location selection than they are for single-egg layers. As of 2019 the butterfly's global conservation status is considered of least concern, but it has faced rapid decline and is considered regionally vulnerable or endangered over muc ...
