This is probably the closest I've ever gotten to an open Gulf Fritillary. I think it's a young one, because it still looks new. :0)



Thank you for your views and comments on yesterday's little treefrog. I was excited to find it! :0)

@chard The older ones lose some of their color and usually have tattered wings. Now that I think about it, it happens to people, too. :0)
