Edwards' Fritillary
Speyeria edwardsii

Observation date: June 14, 2024
Submitted by: sgguthart
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was observed on a hanging basket with Thunbergia growing in it.
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: November 17, 2024
Coordinator notes: Fritillary?...yes...a female Edwards'...looks like it is just newly emerged...perhaps it spent the night on the hanging basket flying in from (?) the nature area just to the west (host is the dry-land violet Viola nuttallii). This is the last sighting in my Colorado assignments...to this time anyway. Hope you have a enjoyable winter season Sally...always looking forward to the new springtime that is not too far in the offing. Time goes by quickly. Take care, Mike
