The Cardinal (Argynnis pandora), is an orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is common throughout southern Europe and is also found in northern Africa and the Middle east but has rarely been recorded in Corfu. Its similarity to the Silver-washed Fritillary may mean that it has been seen, but misidentified.
