A break from the frigid Canadian winter...

FRITILLARY BUTTERFLIES
This photo is meant to provide a momentary diversion from February's cruel arctic caresses.   The summertime photo of fritillary butterflies was taken by my sister Denise, at her home on the eastern shores of James Bay in Quebec.  Climate change is allowing more and more sightings of these lovely creatures at more northerly positions in Canada.   I know little about fritillarys, but my best guess about the ones pictured above are that they either 'Atlantis', 'Great Spangled' or 'Aphrodites'.   Perhaps you, dear reader, have a surer guess,
Please comment if you wish.
