A male Dianna Fritillary butterfly resting, soaking up warm sunshine. An amazing capture here in my region due to the extirpation of this wonderful butter's habitat. The Dianna's home range is to the north, in the Ozark mountains and to the east in the Appalachias. This find made the Lep registry for Oklahoma due to it's "watch list" status and it has never been reported in my county. I never tire of watching it and I am always hopeful to see a female.
