Definition
Any of various butterflies with checkered or spotted wing patterns, often brightly colored.
Etymology
From 'checker' (checkered pattern) and 'spot' (marking). Named in the 19th century by lepidopterists (butterfly scientists) for the distinctive spotted-checkered wing pattern.
Kelly Says
Some checkerspots are endangered because they depend on specific plants for caterpillar food—losing a single plant species can wipe out an entire checkerspot population.
