MILBERT’S TORTOISESHELL<br />
Milbert’s tortoiseshell, also known as the fire-rim tortoiseshell,<br />
has a wingspan between 1.5 and 2.5 inches with the<br />
forewing tips squared <strong>of</strong>f. This is a fast butterfly that flits rapidly<br />
around woodland roads. The Milbert’s tortoiseshell’s range<br />
includes all <strong>of</strong> Canada south <strong>of</strong> the tundra, western U.S, and<br />
most <strong>of</strong> the east. In these regions they are common in wet areas,<br />
including moist pastures, marshes, most trails, and roadsides.<br />
When it lands, it may open its wings, <strong>of</strong>ten on trees or<br />
rocks. From May to October adults mate and lay eggs. The<br />
caterpillars congregate in a small web similar to tent caterpillars<br />
(moth), but do not leave the web to feed.<br />
