Macro Monday - Butterfly on a Coneflower

This is some variety of Fritillary but just which one I do not remember. I should know because I had a big entomology project then I was in high school. Living in a small town I had country friends who belonged to the 4-H club and raised show calves, lambs, chickens or rabbits and entered them in the county fair. I didn't have space enough in town to manage livestock, but the 4-H club offered other things as well, one of which was an Entomology project. I had a lot of fun with it and made some good friends.
