The Gulf Fritillary and Frogfruit!


Did you ever do a post that took on a life of it's own? This one has taken me forever to put together because I keep getting deeper into identification and interesting facts!


Gulf Fritillary Butterfly

We went to the Pruitt Trailhead again on Sunday and saw lots of beautiful butterflies and because of the rain showers we had a few days ago, the wildflowers are blooming like crazy again!


 It was very enjoyable and I learned the names of a few more wildflowers. This flower is teeny tiny and abundant!


Frogfruit 

 (also known by turkey tangle fogfruit and capeweed) 

Hubby and I both got some amazing close ups.


 Which led me to spend time looking up the terms for the anatomy of a butterfly!


 Always something new to learn!


 I found this diagram online.
