The Oregon Fritillary (Boloria epithore) is a rich orange butterfly marked with bold black spotting and patterning typical of fritillaries. The underside of the hindwings is more muted, with softer tones and subtle markings that provide excellent camouflage when at rest.
Native to western North America, Boloria epithore is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of western Canada. It is most commonly associated with moist meadows, forest clearings, and mountain foothills where violets—their primary host plants—are present.
Interesting Fact:
Like many fritillaries, this species relies on violets (Viola spp.) for its caterpillars, but it is often found in cooler, coastal and montane environments compared to many of its relatives.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
