Silvery Checkerspot (Chlosyne nycteis).
Martin County, Indiana, USA.
May 20, 2017.
Something looks "off" about this individual, but I can't put my finger on it. Doesn't look like the typical Silvery Checkerspot to me.
Jay's second book, "Familiar Butterflies of Indiana and their Natural History" has just launched!

Fritileán Dúghlas [IRL]
Le Grand Nacre [F]
Grosser Perlmutterfalter [D
Key identification features include:
Large size, wingspan: 58 - 68 mm
Strong flier with upperside of wings orange with dark border
Underside of hindwing greenish with silver spots
The wing pattern is similar to that of the Silver-washed Fritillary but the underside has spots rather than streaks.
This fast flier is rather uncommon in Ireland, mainly restricted to costal regions.
Lifecycle
In July and early August the Dark Green Fritillaries lay straw-yellow eggs on or near to the larval foodplants, violets (Viola species). including, particularly on woodland edges, the Dog Violet Viola riviniana.
In August the eggs hatch and the larvae eat the empty eggshells and then go into hibernation in leaf litter until the following March. When they wake up, the dark mottled caterpillars, with black heads, blackish spines and yellow dorsal stripes, feed on violet leaves until some time in May or early June (depending on altitude and longitude) ; then they pupate and produce a shiny black and brown chrysalis.
Specialist, now largely coastal with few inland sites, found on: unimproved dry calcareous grassland, coastal grey dunes, machair, dune-slacks and limestone pavement. The adults fly rapidly in sunshine over open ground, visiting mainly purple flowers as nectar sources. They roost, often communally, in the evening, near abundant nectar sources, sometimes on grass inflorescences

Green-head ant (Rhytidoponera metallica), a native species found under a log near Common Creek in Dungog Common Recreation Reserve, NSW 2420. They are well known for their distinctive metallic appearance, which varies from green to purple or even reddish-violet. Among the most widespread of all insects in Australia. This species lives in many habitats, including deserts, forests, woodland and urban areas. They nest underground below logs, stones, twigs, and shrubs, or in decayed wooden stumps, and are sometimes found living in termite mounds. The green-head ant is diurnal, active throughout the day, preying on arthropods and small insects or collecting sweet substances such as honeydew from sap-sucking insects. They play an important role in seed dispersal, scattering and consuming seeds from a variety of species.

Description
The Purple Hairstreak is our commonest Hairstreak but is not often noticed. Males have a purple upper wings whereas females have just a purple patch. The underwings are similar in both sexes, being lilac-brown crossed by a white 'hair-streak' and with an orange eye-spot next to a small tail streamer.
Habitat
Found around oak trees. It is often difficult to locate, due to its habit of flying in the tree canopy; however, the adults are occasionally seen basking at lower levels, on various small trees, shrubs and bracken.
When to see it
July and August
Life History
The adults feed on honeydew in the tree canopy and the larvae feed on oak buds.

Aeshna mixta
The Migrant Hawker (Aeshna mixta) is one of the smaller species of hawker dragonflies. It can be found away from water but for breeding it prefers still or slow-flowing water and can tolerate brackish sites. The flight period is from July to the end of October. A. mixta occurs in North Africa, southern and central Europe to the Baltic region. A medium sized hawker flying in late summer to early autumn.
This species may be confused with Aeshna juncea the Common Hawker however in the latter species the costa is yellow (as opposed to brown) and the male has long and narrow antehumeral stripes whereas in the Migrant Hawker they are much shorter. The male Hairy Dragonfly Brachytron pratense has similar blue spots on the abdomen but has a much earlier fight period.
KEY IDENTIFICATION FEATURES
Both sexes have a yellow golf tee-shaped marking on dorsal surface of abdominal segment 2
Short antehumeral stripes
The sides of abdominal segment 2 are blue in mature males
anal appendages in both sexes are very long
costa is brown
