I know it's a Fritillary of some type and first identified it as a Meadow Fritillary, but now I think it might be a Great Spangled Fritillary. I saw one also on a butterfly bush at Skylands Botanical Gardens when visiting friends in New Jersey. Whatever it is, what a wonderful orange surprise to see in my yard!
I used to get them in my yard before Bella ate all of the flowers that they used to love. I can't think of the name of them right now. Such pretty butterflies! I remember trying to capture them at Skylands!
