      This one was quite the showoff! :) I wish I had a video camera in this case! It was fluttering and giving me a beautiful show! The photos just do not do the metallic underwings justice! Posted 6 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.
