Meadow Fritillary has not been seen here

Hi, and welcome on this cloudy rainy August day. Not complaining about rain as we had been in our second 'very dry spell' so to speak. Our ground is now moist enough that everything is re-growing, whereas it had stopped twice in our mini-droughts of this summer. Our butterfly numbers are substantially lower, by far, than in many previous years. This butterfly, a Meadow Fritillary, is usually a regular in early summer but this year they have eluded me so far. However other folks I know have had better luck than I have this season. Here is a pix of a Meadow Fritillary. Best to you, Denis
