Thank you everyone who gave acorns, thumbsup and nice words.

Yes, it was a Gulf Fritillary butterfly.

Happy y'all liked my banner!

Not a Gulf Frit. More likely a Great Spangled Fritillary. It's hard to tell the size from just a picture. Meadow Fritillaries are very similar, but much smaller.

Great Spangled Fritillary. I think that's what it is. I got confused. Thanks Mel! *Blush* I tip my hat to you. Thumbs up
