Butterflies and SkippersLate Summer Butterfly
Thanks so much for your excellent site. I use if often to identify butterfly caterpillars. Now I have a photo of a butterfly for which I am uncertain of the identification. This photo was taken in August 2006 at the Butterfly Garden of the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge near Glen Allen, MS. I thought it was some sort of Fritillary and we have planted Passion Flower Vine in the garden to attract fritillaries. But I haven’t been able to find any pictures of fritillaries that look like this. Sorry that I only have the one picture with the wing backs.

Hi Alice,
This Gulf Fritillary is not a true Fritillary and might have been attracted to the passion flowers, the larval food.
