Gulf Fritillaries are one of our most common garden visitors and seem to linger the latest in the fall of any of the butterflies frequenting our lantana. Shot this pretty guy in late November about 15 feet out the back door. All comments welcome. Please view LARGE. >=))>

A beautiful "catch", Bill.  The mix of colors is great, as is the comp.  Tough having to chase these for 15 feet...enlightened

Nice job with one of our most common Fall transients!  Great color combo, focus and comp!  crying  I'm starting to think, that I'm going to line my beds with lantana this year!  Just for the visitors sad
