The Diana fritillary butterfly is the official state butterfly of
Arkansas. Found in wooded areas along southern and eastern North
America, in the Arkansas River Valley and along the Appalachian
mountains, this beautiful butterfly is noted for the dramatic
differences between males and females. Males appear brown with bright
orange markings, while females are dark blue with bright blue markings.
Diana fritillary caterpillars feed on violet leaves. As adults, they feed on flower nectar and dung.
