Frigga's Fritillary
Description:
Frigga's Fritillary is mostly found on open bogs and in swampy areas with shrubs of Birches (Betula spp.) and willows (Salix spp.) scrub, in swampy areas in birch woods, and on bogs in coniferous forests. It is a rare fritillary that occurs locally and always in low to very low numbers. Despite its size, it is inconspicuous and can suddenly seem to vanish.
The eggs are laid singly on Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus).
