Regal Fritillary
Speyeria idalia

Observation date: July 27, 2012
Submitted by: Brett Budach
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: As local prairies dry up even more, Regal Fritillaries are getting desperate enough for nectar to wander far and wide. This one was actually the second individual I had in my suburban yard, but I have only this photo of this butterfly.
