Fritillary butterflies take their name from the Latin fritillus, meaning dice-box — a reference to the checkered or spotted patterns on their wings that resemble an ancient game board. Many fritillary species have an exclusive relationship with wild violets, whose leaves form the sole food of their caterpillars.

The fritillary's checkered pattern is built from a satisfying repeating grid — work methodically from one side to the other, alternating rich orange and black to create the distinctive checkerboard. Add a warm amber highlight to the orange areas and a cool charcoal to the black cells for depth and visual richness.
