A photographer has captured remarkable photos of endangered butterflies flying off flowers at a nature preserve in the U.K., British news agency SWNS reports. SCIENTISTS DISCOVER 'JOKER' SPIDER"I was extremely lucky and honored to capture both butterflies in such crystal-clear detail," Fusek Peters said. "The small pearl-bordered fritillary is now very rare while the dark green fritillary has not been seen in south Shropshire before so this is a first and a record for me. According to ButterflyConservation.org, the small pearl-bordered fritillary "remains widespread and locally abundant in Scotland and Wales but has undergone a severe decline in England." SWNS reports the population of the butterfly has declined 76 percent in the U.K. since the 1970s.
