Fritillaries (Tribe Argynnini)
​
Tribe Argynnini is a tribe of brush-footed butterflies within the subfamily Heliconiinae of the family Nymphalidae, commonly known as the fritillaries. They are generally medium- to large-sized butterflies characterized by bright orange or tawny wings marked with black spots, lines, and bands. Many species display distinctive silvery spots on the undersides of their hind wings, a feature that inspired the common name "fritillary."
