Great-spangled Fritillary

Great-spangled Fritillay
I saw this lovely butterfly on the trail running parallel to and South of the stream. I think that it was enjoying the warm sun and I know that I did as I sat down to capture its image.

Its host plant, i.e. the plant the caterpillar eats, is the Common Blue Violet.  I had not been unaware of this fact until just now as I write.  It is probably too late in the season to look but I will look in the spring.

Common Blue Violet

Isn't it interesting how things work together?
