Meadow Fritillary - Boloria bellona - has made its appearance at the farm, the first of out three common fritillaries to do so. So far, I've logged fewer than a dozen species this season, but it's only mid-May and we have had a lot of rainy and cool weather this spring. Tomorrow's high predicted to be in high 70s - Yippie! That's much better conditions for butterflies to fly and for me to tramp about looking for them.
