Speyeria Idalia
The regal fritillary (''Speyeria idalia'') is a striking nymphalid butterfly found among some of the remaining tallgrass and mixed-grass prairies in the east-central United States. This prairie-specialist butterfly has a characteristic deep orange color and unmistakable dark hindwings with two bands of spots ( Brock 2003). On the female, both bands of spots are white. However, on the male, the outer band of spots is orange in color. Females also tend to be slightly larger than males. The ventral surface of the hindwings is olive brown to black in color with bold silvery white spots ( Selby 2007). The wingspan of ''S. idalia'' usually measures ( Selby 2007). Flight is in the summertime from approximately June to September and adults tend to be swift in flight, coasting close to the ground ( Brock 2003). It is listed as a species of special concern and believed extirpated in the US state of Connecticut. Regal fritillary larvae are approximately 0.08 inches long after they hat ...

Speyeria Mormonia
''Speyeria mormonia,'' commonly known as the Mormon fritillary, is a North American butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is highly diverse, having differentiated into several subspecies which occupy a wide geographic range. ''S. mormonia'' exhibits extreme protandry, which is the emergence of male adults before female adults. This has several consequences on male and female behavior. Habitat specificity is still being investigated, as there are few known environmental predictors, and ''S. mormonia'' appears to be associated with a wide range of habitats. This species is not under threat, and conservation efforts are generally not necessary. Geographic range ''S. mormonia'' is found throughout western North America, with significant populations in both the United States and Canada.Boggs, Carol L., and Charles L. Ross.
