Coordinator notes: Hi! Your guess of Marsh Fritillary is pretty good, this is in a closely-related genus. I don't think that I have ever heard of someone rearing one. I would like to add this unique record to the database of butterfly distribution of the Toronto Entomologists' Association. But for the record to be accepted, I need a name, not just an email nickname. Please, contact me at rosslayberry@yahoo.ca . Thank you, Ross Layberry
