Hi!
Could anyone tell me the name of these two butterflies?
Unfortunately, the second photo resumes the butterfly in a partial way but also an endless wait did not allow me to do better!!!! I know it might be difficult to identify you.
Thanks anyway!
Two butterflies to identify
Nymphalidae; I suspect that at least the first one may be in the genus Hipparchia. See https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipparchia_aristaeus for an example.
Thanks, I think it's her!
I was oriented on the Lasiommata megera but I was wrong!
Your help is precious !!!!
Right now a friend of mine asked me if it can not be a Hipparchia semele.
What do you say?
Thank you!
I still believe that it most likely is in the genus Hipparchia, but I cannot be certain of a specific identification (because of individual variation, some specimens of several species can be quite similar in appearance).

In fact it is so but I remain convinced of your identification: Hipparchia aristaeus.
Ciao, ciao!!!
It certainly is a good possibility, but again, having a clear dorsal view would be most helpful. Good Luck!
I hope that the butterfly has been well on my Buddleja and come back again!!!
I cut the flowers higher up so I could be more comfortable to have a dorsal view!!!!
