Description

Gulf Fritillary or Passion Butterfly is commonly seen in parks and gardens, as well as in open country. Its range extends from Argentina through Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean to the southern United States, as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area. This one was in my backyard in SC.

Despite the busy background you have used your focal length very wisely and managed to make the butterfly pop despite all the competing brilliant colors and lines.

Stunning grace. The gulf Fritillary is one of my favorites for temperament, color and size.
