Variegated Fritillary
Euptoieta claudia

Observation date: September 11, 2013
Submitted by: BonkieB
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It seems like it has gold or silver spots along it's back. It was hanging off the side of our pool and since we are closing it, I had to remove it. I cut the silk area with a razor and used tacky glue to adhere it to a branch. I hope he survives.
Status: Temporary Colonist
