Gulf Fritillary

The Gulf Fritillary is the most common butterfly in my garden followed closely by the Zebra Longwing.   My wife and I have filled the garden with firebush, pentas, bottle brush and other plants popular with butterflies and hummingbirds.  We just made our annual trip to our local master gardener's show in Ocala and returned with a van full of new additions.

This Gulf Fritillary is feeding from a Chaste Tree.  The photo was taken in our front garden.  This is probably the most common butterfly that we see during the year.
