I was out in the yard yesterday and saw this butterfly in the grass. What caught my eye was the color, the size and the fact that it was in my grass meaning I might have a chance to take a picture. I always think something is wrong if it's not flying away but that was not the case.
The size is close to a Monarch. This is a Great Spangled Fritillary and apparently can live in the area. I don't recall seeing one in my life. Maybe I've seen them fluttering and assumed a Monarch. Anyway, it did finally fly away but I got these two pics...
