A medium-sized orange butterfly is perched on Red Clover. This is an Atlantis Fritillary, photographed in late June in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The habitat of the Atlantis Fritillary includes forest openings, upland pastures, bogs, areas near woodland streams, and meadows. Atlantis Fritillaries are fairly common in the Adirondack region and usually fly from about mid-June to early September.
