Silvery checkerspot butterfly (Chlosyne nycteis)

Marlborough Forest

Marlborough Forest seems to be a consistently good place to find small numbers of this checkerspot butterfly. I found five of them in two different locations within the forest.

The closest wing reminds me of a stained glass window. Lovely capture, Christine. V.
