Etymology

Spyeria is the scientific name for a group of butterflies and probably comes from a person's name plus the Latin ending -ia, which is often used to make a name 'belonging to' someone. So Spyeria means the butterflies named after that person, a simple way to remember this group of North American fritillaries.
