Boloria dia, the Weaver's fritillary or violet fritillary, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. The name Weaver's fritillary is in honor of Richard Weaver, an English insect collector who claimed to have obtained the specimen within ten miles of Birmingham around 1820.[1] However, B. dia is very rare in England and the few specimens known from there are thought to be from possibly accidental introductions.[2]
