Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) - the name is fancier than the butterfly - the first of the season. Although larger, they look very much like Meadow Fritillay from above. From the underside, it is easily distinguished from Meadow by the silver spots. A bit closer examination is needed to distinguish it from Atlantis and Aphrodite as their ranges also include Pennsylvania.
