Spent a good portion of the morning poking around along the dirt road and riparian aspen habitat near a friend’s house. I was excited to get some photos of the female Great Spangled Fritillary (subspecies charlottii) in the area. I also saw two Hemileuca moths flying, but couldn’t identify the species as three species fly in the area.
