Nature Butterfly On Flower in Woods

Butterfly On Flower in Woods · **1 Like**

This is a crop of a shot that I took in the woods early in September of this year on an outing. I am not sure if it is a butterfly or type of moth, but it seemed to be checking out a flower similar to what the Monarchs were landing on. I had some really nice sun that day.

Looking at it's antenna it is definitely a Butterfly and it has beautiful patterns on the wings.

Wonderful bright colors in the butterfly and flowers. The wing pattern is both different and nice.

Looks like a fritillary butterfly on aster.

Yes, great shot of a fritillary. However, frits are more easily told apart by their underwing pattern so I doubt this could be told to species by its dorsal pattern with any degree of confidence.
