Title: Bog Fritillary?
Post by: Brian Bailey on August 13, 2008, 10:12:49 PM

This isn't exactly a Toronto sighting, actually it was near Parry Sound, but I'm looking for help with the ID.

I'm thinking Bog Fritillary (Boloria eunomia)?
Here's the underwing view:

I had a hard time getting a look at the upper wing.  It only seemed to open them when I looked away.  
(I felt like I was playing mind games with a butterfly and losing!) :oops:
This is the only shot I got:

Here's a site I often use for IDing Skippers and butterflies.
