There have been two regular Butterflies visiting my blooming Lantana for several weeks.
I’m not sure what type of Butterfly they are, but I think they’re in the Fritillary family. Any help with
the ID would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s one enjoying a nice drink of Lantana juice.

Love the photo. Can you rig up a black cloth background and see what it looks like?

Thank you Robert! I’m not sure putting a black cloth behind this plant would do much to help hide branches. It’s a pretty full plant with a whole lot of green everywhere. It’s great thought. I won’t have time today to try, but will keep it in my thoughts.

Thanks Dan! I’m hoping to get more next year by planting more flowers they like. We’ll see. 🙂
