A Butterfly Break for the Great Spangled Fritillary



Last year, sometime during the summer, I took a break from profiling birds to highlight a butterfly. And since it's been boiling outside for a week (I've had little interest in bird watching), allow me to post an image--taken before the heat wave hit--of a butterfly, the Great Spangled Fritillary.

As I'm no authority on butterflies, I'll simply direct you to a link from which I learned to identify this pretty orange visitor to my butterfly garden:

Keep cool and don't forget to keep birds--and butterflies--in your heart (and gardens)!
