🦋💧“Butterfly Buffet”🦋💧

I had quite a few gulf fritillary chrysalises over wintered in my garage on my plants. With a warming trend recently, three butterflies decided to come out. 

The photo shows my three butterflies feeding at their butterfly buffet which contains sugar water. I have a nice enclosure for them with several flowers also. 

My Butterfly Club named the first one Bailey and we have not named the other two yet:) Bailey is the butterfly with tattered wings. 

What shall I call the other two?

In Memory Of

“In Memory Of”

Please read below….

I wanted to give you the opportunity to have a gulf fritillary butterfly to be released in memory of one of your loved ones. I released some butterflies this way last year, and it was very touching for everyone involved.

This is my first time raising these caterpillars. I have 16 chrysalises that will enclose (become butterflies) in the next week or so and 15 more caterpillars.

To be fair, it will be for the first ones to leave a comment. Please leave their first and last name in case I have two with the same first name. I will try to take photos and maybe a video, but there may be too many requests to do so.

Did you know that butterflies have a mind of their own? Some love to stay on the flower I put them on whereas others want to immediately fly away. So, I can’t make any promises of a photo.

A neat note–they are also called the passion butterfly. What a special butterfly to honor your loved one.

I am having technical issues replying to comments. I don't know how to fix it. 

If I can get a photo of your butterfly,  I will post it either on my Facebook account. Click here.

Or my Instagram account. Click here. Or my Flicker account. Click here. 

 Either way, I will list all the names on my posts.

Gulf fritillary butterflies are also called passion butterflies. The passion flower is the host plant in which females lay their eggs.

The female fritillary butterflies are generally slightly larger, have more brown markings and are usually darker in color.

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly

Butterflies are fast little critters and a challenge to photograph, so I don’t mind if they are upside down when I photograph them.

The Gulf Fritillary caterpillars have been having hanging around on the plants at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia recently.  But now, they have been transformed into beautiful butterflies......free to fly around the garden.
