One Hanger On

Guess this Regal Fritillary is a hanger-on in both senses - he is definitely one of the very few butterflies I've seen in the last few days.

What a beauty ! I hadn't heard of, let alone seen, a Regal Fritillary, so thank you for furthering my education with your lovely capture.

Beautiful shot. He really stands out on the green stems. I have never seen one of these here -- what striking markings.

@falcon11 They almost looked silvery in the light - that was what caught my eye.

I know how he feels! I'm hanging on to the last sliver of summer myself, lol.

I love the pattern on his wings. Great shot.
