Gulf Fritillary Butterfly


I found this Gulf Fritillary Butterfly flying around my passion fruit vine this morning. I believe that the Passiflora vine is a typical host plant for the Gulf Fritillary although I didn't know that their range extended to Southern California. It like the vine so much that I had time to run in, get the camera and snap a good dozen photos of it flying around the vine before it finally flew away.
