How fantastic that you got to see something so rare and special. Here’s a butterfly called a Gulf fritillary in lantana.

Cloudless Sulfur
I think it's neat that there's both a "clouded" and "cloudless" sulfur. This one is large, around admiral or great spangled fritillary size!

Today in the garden I came across the jewel-like chrysalis of a variegated fritillary (Euptoieta claudia)…a beautiful surprise, and only the second one I’ve ever seen. 🌱

Absolutely great late season butterfly afternoon! Late Purple Asters bringing a show... Common Checkered Skipper, Variegated Fritillary, Common Buckeye, Orange Sulphur, a good enough for iNat pic of a Fiery Skipper, Cabbage White, and an Eastern Tailed-Blue

There were so many Gulf fritillaries visiting all the Spanish needle plants where we were birding this morning. It was amazing. There must've been at least 40 of them within a 15-foot space.

Spanish needle: Bidens alba

Ninety-one bulbs planted today - three varieties of tulips, daffodils, snowdrops, and fritillary michaelovskyi. It's still too soon to plant the garlic and I'm waiting on a delivery of alliums.🌱

This guy seems almost ready to follow suit. A real chonker.
We’ve seen two gulf fritillary butterflies fluttering about too, but neither will stay put long enough for a photo.
