Harris' Checkerspot



Chlosyne harrisii from Nicholson Preserve, Wayne County, IN on an open floodplain.
NABA has some good pictures, with a side-by-side comparison feature. It is not completely clear if this is a Harris' Checkerspot or a Baltimore (Euphydryas phaeton). The Baltimore seems to be more common, and has some subtle differences.
