This lovely Gulf Fritillary has been enjoying the front yard flowers for the past several days. In this picture, you can’t see the red Zinnia he is perched upon – it looks more like the butterfly itself is the blossom!
Let’s just call it a Fritillary Flower, shall we? 🙂

Lovely!
Beautiful Butterflies you have showcased Kathy, you have really shown us some beauties this year. Thanks for sharing them, as where I live we seldom see any.
We planted more flowers this past season to attract them and it has paid off. What a delight is has been to go out an take their pictures! 🙂
Lovely Kathy!! 😊💕
Oh, I saw one of those today and didn’t know what it was.
And now…you can impress your friends with your vast butterfly knowledge! 😉
True, that makes 2 I know the name of, 3 if you count the Monarch.
