| Description : | I was riding along the dirt trail through the woods, and this flew
across my path. I stopped, got out the camera, and followed on foot,
and it miraculously let me get close to it, on about the fifth time it
landed to fan its wings.
I think it's a Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) based
on the habitat, but I'm having trouble distinguishing that from the
Aphrodite Fritillary.
I don't remember exactly how large it was, but it struck me as quite
large.
