From the garden...

The butterflies have come alive and are all in the garden. This one looks injured but well enough to fly and check out the Zinnia.

Looks like a Gulf Fritillary.
One of my favorites … that doesn't come to my neck of the woods! :(

I read that butterflies can look battered just from fluttering their wings
