Hi, A beautiful and well taken macro photograph of this adorable butterfly!!!
Gulf Fritillary
by: Moni

This is the Gulf Fritillary. The butterfly collects nectar from colorful flowers like verbena, pentas, drummond phlox, and lantana. The flower is so well hidden it is hard to say what it is for sure.
And the larva (caterpilllar) of this butterfly feeds on passionflower vines of various species. The mature larva is orange with black spines.
Let us know if you have questions.
Could it be??

Hello Gary......Could your butterfly be a Gulf Fratillary? Here is a website that depicts most ,if not all, of the butterflies of Florida.
