| I saw the first Gulf Frit in my yard a couple days ago and this morning there were three. They're nectaring on my zinnias and lantana. I planted lantana 'Citrus' this year and it's been drawing butterflies really well.
This photo of a Gulf Frit on zinnia Zowie Yellow Flame turned out bright. |

| Congratulations! I love that zinnia! They have been really 'busy' here and I have more gulf frit eggs than I know what to do with! Thankfully I have even more passion vine than that! The Gulf Frits seem to prefer the P. caerulea for laying, but they are eating the P. incarnata just fine. ~Laura |

| Beautiful! That would win a contest. Thanks for sharing. Here is my Great Spangled but not as defined as your Gulf. |
