Atlantis Fritillary - Speyeria atlantis
Finland, Lake County, Minnesota, USA
July 21, 2007
When the Wolf Ridge gang stopped for lunch at a small lake, we were surrounded by fritillaries, identified by John Van Dyk Sr as the Atlantis Fritillary. Everyone took pictures of these beauties, so we should get quite a few posted to bugguide from various photographers, thus we'll only post one (of a dozen or so!). This one is nectaring on Bush Honeysuckle, Diervilla lonicera.
