Kennedyh,

Could you start a new "Bug File" for me? I have 2 pics I took last month when a 'Regal Fritillary' was visiting our gardens here in Lincoln, Nebraska. This Butterfly is becoming rare. The only info available at DG about this butterfly is on an entry in a member's diary at this link...

Here are 2 more links verifying the rarity/decline of population of this butterfly...

Here's one pic. My next post will have the other pic. I'm thrilled to be able to contribute info to DG to be able to start a brand new "Bug File"...WooHoo! :)
