I would like to know what this Butterfly is and to put it into Bug Files.

Thanks!

Is this the same butterfly? If not, what is it?

Marybeth it looks like a Great Spangled Fritillary to me. Nice shots

Donna,

Thanks!

Marilyn

I agree! What a beauty!

Konkreteblond,

Thanks!

Happy to have a Great Spangled Fritillary in my garden 'looking for treats and snacks'! Have to see a cat so I know what he/she looks like.
