Diana Fritillary
New Sighting
Had two uncommon visitors today. A pair of Meadow Fritillaries spent some time on our oregano blooms. But my best sighting was a male Diana Fritillary - only the third time in nearly 40 years that I’ve seen a male Diana in our yard. I’ve only seen a female Diana once a few years ago.
