Speyeria cybele

meadow, temperate forest
I spotted this in Short Hills. I was seeing a few of these flying around during my hike but they weren't landing for long. Finally I spotted at least half a dozen of them feeding on a small patch of milkweed. They were always feeding upside down. This is my first spotting of them.
