The Callippe Fritillary (Speyeria callippe) is a vibrant orange butterfly marked with bold black spotting and intricate patterning. The underside of the hindwings features silvery spots and warm brown tones, creating a striking contrast and adding to its visual appeal.
Native to western North America, Speyeria callippe is found primarily in California and parts of the western United States. It is commonly associated with grasslands, open hillsides, and coastal habitats where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
This species depends on violets (Viola spp.) as host plants for its caterpillars, and several subspecies—especially in California—are considered rare or threatened due to habitat loss.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality 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.
