Great Spangled Fritillary
Speyeria cybele

Field Notes
Description:
Paler in color than most other Great Spangled Fritillaries I have seen. Also, more significant brown, centralized markings beginning from thorax and expanding outward. Apparently this is a common variant in the mountainous west.
Habitat:
Sub-alpine woodland.
Notes:
This particular spotting was very close to the North Fork Cut Bank Creek proximal to the park boundary fence remnants in a heavily overgrown area.
