Gulf Fritillary Butterfly!

Not many flowers around, but at least there are a few butterfly's coming around and actually landing. Surprised to see it landing on the ground.

Wonder what it is that attracts them? I've noticed it a lot (not this year yet) with these particular butterflies. Nice catch of those lovely wings.

Really sharp with great color on the butterfly and leaf.

A magnificent capture of this beautiful species. Fabulous colour and patterns.

What an excellent capture; it's a perfect post by the butterfly, and lovely color-complimentary surroundings. Haven't seen a butterfly in IL yet.
