Family: Nymphalidae
Date: 6.22.15
Observation:
Kate and I were enjoying our first day of summer vacation, taking a stroll around the yard when Kate spotted this butterfly on the front lawn. After some careful online research, Alice determined the butterfly is a checkerspot, most likely a Silvery checkerspot. We are counting on Grandpa Chris letting us know for sure.
A Fact from Alice:
Checkerspots prefer habitat that is moist, such as streamsides, meadows, and forest clearings.
