Great Spangled Fritillary

I saw this butterfly for the first time - two of them about 10 minutes apart in different area. They look like huge Meadow Fritillary butterflies. I love them. Great shot!

Thanks Willie and Mayra!

Very nice capture annorion! The butterfly is perfectly centered in your image!

Beautiful shot :)

Thanks Alice! Behind the Lodge on Mount Magazine there is an area where the wild flowers are allowed to grow...a lot of it is milkweed and it's butterfly heaven! I felt like a kid in a candy store ;)

Those flowers are being well-used! Beautiful butterfly!
