Meadow Fritillaries are a common butterfly in mid and northern parts of the U.S. and very southern Canada. They are found in, you guessed it, meadows or in fields or along streamsides. I saw this Meadow Fritillary in a field in northern Minnesota.

We have a similar butterfly here, Gulf Fritillary. It is a little more reddish in color and has fewer dark patterns. Thank you for this post showing a variety of Fritillary butterflies. Have a great weekend! Cheryl

Nice shot! Butterflies are so hit or miss to photograph, but good job here.
