Thanks for all the great information Cat! I do plan on organinzing and labeling all these butterfly pictures on a picturetrail this winter. I saw another new one today which, thanks to you, I now know is a Gulf Frittillary (sp.?) I also have done a litlle "study" this summer of a praying mantis that has almost reached pet status with me - lol! I call him Count Olaf but now I'm thinking this could be a countess due to the incredible size change its abdomen has gone through. I was wondering if it could have laid eggs.

Thanks for the compliment Magpye - I can't tell you how often I have been enchanted by all of your nature photos. Especially during the winter months last year when you posted some many wonderful bird photos.

Here is the Gulf Frit. from today...
