Where are the other Mid-Atlantic people when you need them? I only get two kinds of Fritillaries down here - Gulf and Variegated. I've seen a Great Spangled Fritillary before that kind of looks like your picture but they are all so similar I don't know how anyone tells the difference!

Can't say I'm at all familiar with that skipper. At first, I thought it was a moth although the antenna look like a butterfly's. Skippers so rarely open their wings like that it can be confusing when you are used to only seeing their sides.

And remember folks, if you absolutely have to know... www.butterfliesandmoths.org is there for you.
