Description

The great spangled fritillary is characterized by its orange color above with five black dashes near fore wing base and several irregular black dashes at the base of the hind wing. In addition, two rows of black crescents run along the edges of the wings. Below, the forewing is yellowish-orange with black marks similar to the upperside, with a few silver spots on the tip of the wing. The hindwing is reddish-brown with silver spots on the base and middle of the wing. A broad yellow band and silver triangles are the most notable qualities on the wing, next to the brown margin. Females tend to be darker than males and individuals from the western reaches of this species range tend to be brighter orange.
