An extreme close-up of a butterfly sitting on gravel, from the side. The butterfly's wings are vibrant orange with stained-glass-like black tracing separating a complex pattern of orange and pale cream-coloured segments.

This checkerspot (Euphydryas spp.) was a spectacular start to a butterfly-filled trip in the Okanagan-Similkameen region.
