Great Spangled Fritillary? - Speyeria cybele - male

Great Spangled Fritillary? - Speyeria cybele - Male
Merrimack, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
July 3, 2009
Size: wingspan 2 in.
I looked this butterfly up and it exactly matched Speyeria cybele, the Great Spangled Fritillary, but it said the range was Canada, California, New Mexico, and Georgia. Somehow one must've made its way north. It landed on a pine tree, and that's where I caught it.

Moved

Yes, and it does go north
