      Thanks. Manual focus on bloom where you think butterfly is headed. High shutter speed and allow subject to fly into focus field. C. Baxter Posted 2 years ago

The Gulf fritillary

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly is a bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Heliconiinae. It was formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies.
