A Gulf Fritillary butterfly alights on tiny flowers. Ready to begin its journey by floating off wherever the wind takes it. Steampunk Butterflies. Fly away. Be well. So long. Farewell "Goodbye, my friend, goodbye" by Sergei Esenin Goodbye, my friend, goodbye. My love, you are inside my heart. Predestined farewell won’t die, And means we’ll meet and not depart. Goodbye, my friend, no hugs, nor word, Nor sadness, and don’t furrow your brow. - In this life dying means reward. The life won’t be newer than now.
"Goodbye, my friend, no hugs, nor word,
Nor sadness, and don’t furrow your brow. -

The life won’t be newer than now"~Sergei Esenin

A macro shot of a beautiful brown, orange, and white butterfly flitting on a green plant. "It's wings have a sunset color palette, with small silver spots. This butterfly can be found around the American South and is that almost seem like they are welded on! known as the Gulf Fritillary."

Jefferson, Texas has a nice public garden where you can almost always find flowers, insects buzzing, and everything to make a nice rest stop. The walking trail is very pretty. And, the town has some seriously good BBQ. Well worth a stop!
It’s a cold rainy day here in Houston. So a reminder of spring seems appropriate with this Gulf Fritillary on a flower.

We've got quite a number of Gulf Fritillaries in our yard. A very pleasant surprise to discover! #gulffritillary #butterfly #pollinators #goodbug
This pretty lady has been hanging out for the last week around the house.
She came for the native Texas Lantana I have planted (not pictured in video)

Three-photo composit of brown and rust butterflies native to the southern US states and countries that border the Gulf of Mexico. They have large white spots on the bottom of their hind wings.
Spotted three different gulf fritillaries in our town this last week (pics of two of them). I'd only seen one in our area a couple of years ago. Their territory tends to be south of here, but wondering if they are ranging north with warmer climate.

A brown caterpillar with black legs and a black head hangs upside down from a small passionfruit vine shoot. A wood fence is blurred behind in the background.
The second largest of our #GulfFritillary #caterpillars has decided today's the day to start a new adventure.

A new butterfly clings to its just-left chrysalis that hangs against a worn wood beam. The butterfly has orange eyes and pale orange-tan wings with black-outlined white spots.
Welcome to the world, brand-new little #GulfFritillary butterfly! (I didn't get to see it actually emerge, but we have been monitoring this chrysalis so I was pretty close.)

I captured a gulf fritillary in flight an hour ago. 🙂 First one I've seen this year. Gorgeous butterfly. You can see the silver "bullets" under the wing! Another case of right time, right place. 😊 Details in ALT.
