| These photos of
the Gulf Fritillary butterfly were taken in Putnam County Tennessee in early
August. In Florida the butterflies are known to fly year round. The ventral
side photo below does not show the beauty of this butterfly. The large spots
are not white as they appear, but instead they are metallic silver.
The caterpillar of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly feeds on the foliage of
the passionflower.
