Milbert's Tortoiseshell
Milbert's Tortoiseshell - 5
Spectacular in orange, yellow and brown, the Milbert's tortoiseshell butterfly is a large and beautiful member of the brushfoot family found mostly in the western states of the USA, and across of all of the Canadian provinces, barely reaching south into the border states of the East. This one was found high in the mountains near Aspen, Colorado in the White River National Forest on a perfect Rocky Mountain summer day.
