Same thing happened to me. I still have hundreds of pictures to upload, and I'm planning to get even more this summer.
again.....thank you!!!
I can tell that you are going to be a BIG help to me with Noah....I just started a few days ago, and I am sooooo addicted. Have gone into my PC and dug out many pics...
I too am happy to have a "neighbor" on here.
Yeah, they definitely do. Comparing pictures, it looks like the meadow fritillaries are a darker orange/red color than the great spangled. I'm not 100% sure that it is a spangled fritillary, but it looks closer to one I've seen before than to the meadow: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/501....
By the way, I love all your uploads! It's really exciting to see some other spottings from southern Ohio.
Thank you! I am still not so sure I know the difference between the Great Spangled & the Meadow Fritillaries. They look a lot alike.
