Coordinator notes: In each photo is a female Aprhrodite Fritillary (the darker one in the second photo); two different species in the second photo. The lighter one in very worn condition looks like a male Edwards Fritillary. I've only confirmed the Aphrodite for purposes of this one submission. Mike
