Gulf Fritillary
Agraulis vanillae

Observation date: October 14, 2015
Submitted by: Larkspur
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The butterfly was pretty out of it. She was flapping around in my neighbor's lawn, but she seemed okay physically. She would act fine, but suddenly flap her wings downward, which caused her to pop into the air. I left her in a bush, and she disappeared in the morning. This picture was taken at sunset.
