The Frigga Fritillary (Boloria frigga or Clossiana frigga) is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae with a circumboreal distribution. It occurs in bogs and tundra in Northern Europe to the north of 60° N, very locally in more southern locations, as well as in the Urals, Siberia, Northern Mongolia, the Russian Far East, western parts of the United States and Canada. [1][2] Larvae feed on Rubus chamaemorus[1][2], Vaccinium oxycoccos[1] and occasionally on Vaccinium uliginosum[1]. In experimentation they accept Polygonum viviparum and Rubus fruticosus[2]. The species produces one generation every two years.[1]
