Great spangled fritillary butterfly

He's a beauty!

It's the same colour as the flower !

Don't they love your Tithonia......mine died in the end Jerrie before flowering....too much rain I think....:o(

I haven't seen one of these in a while, my tithonias must be pulling them out of the wood work ! Think I'll plant about forty of them next year instead of four...lol
Hate to hear you lost it Janey, I was wondering if it would be able to take alot of rain...:-(

love the colours

Brill

Wonderful.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to have a look !

Gorgeous photo.......

It's their loss if they didn't.

Thank you Toto ! That means alot to me .

Wow! again!!

Thanks Gunner, wonder if she knew how well the flower complimented her coloring...lol

I love this ones name too! Very descriptive, since she is indeed great and spangled and, well, fritillary-y!

Sad to hear Janey's Tithonia didn't make it - perhaps a good handfull of grit at the roots would help?

LOL..., You are sharp as a tack Sid...;-) I haven't laughed this much in a long time...lol

Ah, sorry Fl - my mum says I should have been on the stage.....sweeping it! lol

LOL..., sounds like your mother had a great sense of humor too....;-)

another great shot:-)

Glad you like it Bornagain, I wish it would have been alittle closer though.
