Fritillary

I'm beginning to see a few more butterflies. This is a Variegated Fritillary. It refused to land in a good spot for a decent dof. :0)

I had to cut my hunt for pics short today. The heat and humidity got the best of me. When I started feeling sick, I headed in to cooler air.

Thank you for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's pics! I'm going to post a few more zoo pics in my extra album. I'll only post one a day. :0)

I'm so glad you're seeing more butterflies, I've hardly seen any here yet. Lovely capture of this one, so pretty !

What a beautiful shot! A friend told me that when their wings are up like that they are hot too--less surface area open to the sun.

Pretty! That's basically what I'm seeing - and they're not landing long that's for sure. Your photo shows their pretty markings so nicely.
