Atlantis Fritillary habitat

Atlantis Fritillary is found in Canada and in the northeastern portions of the United States from Maine down to the more southern range in West Virginia and sporadically in the highest elevations of Garrett County in Maryland.

 

The preferred habitat are cool forests with adjacent meadows, stream sides and glades such as the one in this photo. This fritillary is often encountered near streams where it can nectar on Common Milkweed and various species of Dogbane.
