The pearl-bordered fritillary is widespread throughout Europe, ranging from Scandinavia to northern Spain and from Ireland eastwards across the Palearctic to Russia and to the north of Kazakhstan. In England and Wales (plus another 10 countries) it has declined rapidly in number and is a highly threatened species.
This is a list of species of butterfly with the common name fritillary.The term fritillary refers to the chequered markings on the wings, usually black on orange, and derives from the Latin fritillus, meaning "dice-box" (or, according to some sources, a "chequerboard"); the fritillary flower, with its chequered markings, has the same derivation.

The small pearl-bordered fritillary is similar to the pearl-bordered fritillary but has black chevrons on the edge of its wings, a large central black dot on each wing, and white pearls on the underside. Males tend to be smaller than females, with a wingspan of 35 to 41 mm. Females are 38 to 44 mm in length.
Roe deer and purple hairstreak butterflies can both be seen here, as well as the extremely rare pearl-bordered fritillary and the small pearl-bordered fritillary. [7] On the south-facing wooded slope towards Gooseham Mill the trees are coppiced to create clearings, and vegetation is thinned to keep it low so that flowers and insects can flourish.
