Speyeria aphrodite

Observation date: August 13, 2022
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There were at least two different types of Fritillary out on this trail today, and none would pose for ventral shots. With its darker edges I'm pretty confident this is an Aphrodite.
