While I was engaged in having brunch at my desk, she was hanging outside my windows on this butterfly bush. She did one full rotation around this plume and then she was off. I'm only about 80% confident it's a female.
The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Dione vanillae or Agraulis vanillae in other taxonomies). An all-time favorite for the phenomenal difference between the dorsal and ventral view. Truly two butterflies in one.
