Agraulis vanillae
The Gulf Fritillary is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of 6–9.5 cm (2.4–3.7 in). Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots.[1] It takes its common name from its migration over the Gulf of Mexico.
I took this picture at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located northeast of Naples, Florida, in Collier County.
