The Great Spangled Fritillary ("Speyeria cybele") is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is distinguished from the Aphrodite and Atlantis Fritillaries by a wide light submarginal band on the hindwing. It starts flying before dawn and returns to rest in mid-afternoon (Fullard & Napoleone 2001).
