EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, a Common Checkered-Skipper butterfly (Burnetia communis) gracefully alights on the vibrant petals of a Frikart's Aster (Aster frikartii) in Marion County, Illinois. The intricate patterns on the wings of the Common Checkered-Skipper perfectly complement the rich hues of the aster's blooms, creating a stunning contrast against the lush green foliage. The Common Checkered-Skipper is a small, yet beautiful butterfly species native to North America. They can be found in open woodlands, meadows, and prairies, where they feed on nectar from a variety of flowers. The males are characterized by their black checkered wings with orange borders, while the females have a more subdued coloration with brown wings. Frikart's Aster is a rare and endangered plant species that is native to the Midwest United States. It is a low-growing perennial that produces beautiful purple-pink flowers in late summer. This aster is an important food source for many pollinators, including the Common Checkered-Skipper, making it a vital component of the local ecosystem. This photograph was taken by Danita Delimont, a renowned nature photographer based in the United States. Her passion for capturing the beauty of the natural world is evident in this breathtaking image, which showcases the delicate balance between the Common Checkered-Skipper and its environment. This photograph is a testament to the importance of preserving natural habitats and protecting endangered species, such as Frikart's Aster, to ensure the continued existence of these beautiful creatures.
