The Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele krautwurmi) is a large and vibrant butterfly with bright orange wings marked by bold black spots. The underside of the hindwings features prominent silvery spots against a warm brown background, giving the species its “spangled” appearance.
Native to North America, this subspecies of Speyeria cybele is found in the northern and western portions of the species’ range, often in open woodlands, meadows, and grasslands where host plants are present.
Interesting Fact:
The caterpillars of this species feed exclusively on violets (Viola spp.), and like many fritillaries, the larvae overwinter shortly after hatching before resuming development in spring.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
