A fairly late occurrence of this species

Rechecked my id based on feedback. Yes, size confirms it's Great Spangled, not Silver Bordered as first id'd.

Emerged from chrysalis under netting

I think it’s an Aphrodite Fritillary based on its size. It seemed the be about 45-50 mm long. On a milkweed plant

One sighted.
