White Mountains: Butterflies

A lot of my time in the White Mountains was spent looking for butterflies. At Walnut Creek alone, I found and photographed 14 species including one or two new ones I’d not encountered before.

  I have a fritillary I have been trying to identify for three weeks now. Thanks to you I figured out it’s an Atlantis Fritillary. I found it in the White Mountains on the Williams Creek North Fork. Thank you for your pictures!
