  1. Love the video and ALL of the shots! Really fabulous! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thank you! They are still visiting (along with lots of Hesperiids)! Posted 7 years ago
      1. Nice!! I haven't seen ANY butterflies lately. The gardens around here are pummeled by rain and getting stinky and gross. But, I love seeing yours! Posted 7 years ago
        1. Awww! That is always disheartening! It looks like we have a fairly dry week ahead of us.

          Supposedly, this winter is supposed to be wetter and colder than usual? I think I saw that you guys were supposed to get more snowstorms/blizzards than normal.

          1. Oh. ick. I hope not. Winter is pretty for about 5 minutes, then I'm over it ;) Posted 7 years ago

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.
