Coordinator notes: I think I could have identified this from just the picture of the upper side but the underside certainly confirms it as the Coronis Fritillary. Always good to have the undersides. Only the upperside make the ID tougher sometimes but I can recognize the Colorado species from only that aspect confidently as they do have differences. Mike
