Wow! you sure have found a lot of aberrants! Here is a strange S. cybele cybele I collected a couple years ago in southern Indiana, the other specimen was collected the same day and location(both males).  Also, the lower female in this photo seems to have extra black in the eyspots  |

I was just organizing my Speyeria drawers this week over 'winter break'. Hopefully Leroy won't mind me adding to the Speyeria thread with a share or two. Leroy, your collection is fantastic! This box includes some stuff I have acquired or traded for and a some that I've caught. I'd love to travel East and catch more of these myself over the years.  Eric |

This box is all Speyeria (and friends) that I have caught with perhaps one exception. Everything right of the first column is from Colorado, with one Wyoming exception, I have spend hours IDing them, but would welcome some critical review as I love Western Speyeria but I am also going a little nuts trying to find all the ID points. Further, 90% of these are from Boulder or Gilpin counties. If anyone wants to see an underside, let me know -- clearly that is more diagnostic. Thanks!  Eric |

Looks real nice. As for me I haven't found many Fritillaries here in the "East". Unfortunately, idalia is west of me and diana is south. So far I have been unsuccessful in finding atlantis. So the only Speyeria I have found is cybele nominate. However I have aquired some nice specimens through trades. Here is what my Fritillary box currently looks like. I personally collected the S. cybele cybele and the B. bellona bellona. I raised the S. cybele leto from eggs. Thanks to members mikeh and coloradeo whom some specimens came from. Also, I am still looking for S. carolae and S. adiaste is anyone has some available. Attachments:

This is my drawer of Speyeria idalia (One of two drawers of Speyeria idalia.) and Speyeria nokomis. There have three Speyeria nokomis subspecies: Speyeria nokomis nokomis, Speyeria nokomis apacheana and Speyeria nokomis nitocris. I collected all of the Speyeria nokomis and all of the Speyeria idalia. The third female down was collected in Parma, Ohio in 1962. All of the Speyeria idalia in this drawer are from east of the Mississippi. I have another drawer of Speyeria idalia from west of the Mississippi. Someone specifically ask to see my Speyeria nokomis. They are not easy to collect. Speyeria nokomis nokomis were collected in Utah. The Speyeria Nokomis apacheana were collected in California and Nevada. The Speyeria nokomis nitocris was collected in New Mexico because I had to go pee. I stopped along the highway and just as I started to pee, there were three males of Speyeria nokomis on a Thistle right in front of me. By the time I got my net from the car and back to the Thistle, there were only two. I got them both. We stayed at the location for several hours and never saw another. I kept one and the other one went to my traveling companion.  |

It has been sometime since I last posted photographs of my drawers of Speyeria. Friday 3 May 2019, I removed 50+ Speyeria from my freezer that I collected in Idaho and placed them in my relaxer. That was followed by 50 more on Saturday 4 May 2019. I came home from church and it was raining. I decided to spread the first 50. There were actually 54 specimens. Monday evening I spread the other 50. It was actually 62 specimens. I cannot spread anymore Speyeria as I have used all of my Large Spreading boards. However, I remembered the photographs that I had taken of my Speyeria drawers. I will begin again: Speyeria edwardsii & Speyeria coronis. Including the nominate S. coronis coronis, I have the following subspecies of S. coronis: halycone, snyderi, simaeths and semirsmis.  |
