Gulf Fritillary, top

This shot is pretty cool. The butterfly landed on a wood sage we have potted near the passion vines. The neat thing is not only the dark bakground or how still it remained while I squeezed off about 6 shots but the fact it landed just above a Fritillary chrysalis - the first chrysalis we found about a week earlier (the chrysalis is the thing that looks lke a dead leaf). The top side isn't it's spectacular side but it's still one of my favorite photos.
