Appearance The pearl bordered fritillary butterfly is orange with black spots on the upper side of its wing. It has two silver pearls on the underside of the hind wing. The adult wingspan can grow up to 42 mm.
Habitat The Pearl bordered fritillary butterfly lives in the woodlands, where there have been trees cut down. There are areas of grass, plants and open scrub.

Breeding Individual eggs are laid in the autumn on dead leaves or leaf litter near grass areas where violets grow.
DIET Both caterpillars and adult butterflies eat on the common dog flower and marsh flower. Threats Changes in woodland management over past years have led to the decline of the butterflies. Woodland practices such as coppicing and thinning. Many areas have been planted with trees. Woodland rides and clearings have become increasingly shady and overgrown. Plant habitats are no longer managed through eating.

Both Scotland and Spain have many species of forest creatures which are endangered. Each school chose 5 to find out about. These tables shows some of the information we found out. It is very interesting to learn about wildlife in another country. There are many similarities. One difference is Scotland does not have wild bears!
