Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw this butterfly today and thought it was a gulf fritillary! After chasing it around the yard, it finally decided to pose for me. It’s joined the longwing zebras (we now have 3 and they are laying eggs!) because of our huge passionflower hegdes. Hope to see more!
