Look what turned up! I can't tell which kind of fritillary he is, since he's so small. But it's got to be a Great-spangled frit or a variegated frit. He's really tiny, so please excuse the poor pictures. So, does anyone have any tips on how to raise this guy? I know they like to hide, so I was thinking of potting up some violets along with some weeds, and then putting that pot in a bucket. For now I have some violet leaves sitting in water, but that's it.
