The Silver-bordered Fritillary is a delicate and finely patterned butterfly known for its warm orange wings marked with dark spots and subtle silver patches on the underside. Its balanced patterning and soft coloration give it a classic fritillary appearance that stands out both in the field and in collections.
Boloria selene myrina is found across parts of North America, typically in meadows, wetlands, and open grassy habitats where violets—its host plants—are present. It is a smaller species, often seen flying low over vegetation in search of nectar.
Interesting Fact:
The Silver-bordered Fritillary gets its name from the small, reflective silver spots found on the underside of its hindwings, which can appear almost metallic in the right light.
This specimen is preserved in a traditional papered format, carefully folded in a protective triangle for safe storage and transport. In this unspread state, the specimen remains flexible and is ideal for future mounting or long-term collection storage.
Details:
• Species: Boloria selene myrina
• Papered specimen (unspread, not mounted)
• Stored in protective paper triangle
• Suitable for pinning, spreading, or study
• Collection data included
All specimens are ethically sourced and collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
