Thank you, Karen. My oversight, I typed the family name instead of the scientific name.
This is a Gulf Fritillary, but please can you correct the scientific name to Agraulis vanillae - Thanks!
Gorgeous
Lovely spot!
Welcome to Project Noah Shelli!
So so beautiful! No butterflies now in PA. :( (I did find a yellow Sulfur even in mild early December.)
