Speyeria
Speyeria, commonly known as greater fritillaries, is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae commonly found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Some authors used to consider this taxon a subgenus of Argynnis, but it has been reestablished as a separate genus in 2017.[1]

gollark: How does one do that?
gollark: Was it not <@217026209752678401> complaining?
gollark: ```Shulkers spawn during generation of end cities, which are located on the outer islands of the End. They usually spawn on the walls of the city. They don't despawn naturally, even in Peaceful difficulty, and once killed, they don't respawn.```https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/ShulkerWe can't blame CLNinja5cn for *every* scarcity issue.
