Great Spangled Fritillary - Speyeria cybele
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
May 25, 2007
Size: Approx. 3.5 in. wingspan
Data posting for this species in Illinois, for the month of May.

Not only is this the first one for my state of Illinois, it was the first one I'd ever seen personally, too. The guide says their season is from June through September, but I see some posted for three other states in May, also.
