| An Aphrodite Fritillary |
We had another winged visitor at the pond last weekend, and not the usual Swallowtails that we see this time of year. She (- why do all butterflies look female?) stopped to sample some flowering chives, before stopping to rest on a nearby hemlock. I had some trouble finding a picture to try and identify the species. I finally found a photo of an "Aphrodite Fritillary" taken in Quebec, on the Duke University website, which seemed to match the color pattern and the geography.
