  1. I think the orange butterfly is a Gulf Fritillary. It’s hard to tell but I think it is a viceroy instead of a monarch. A book I have says the viceroy strongly resembles the monarch but has an additional thin black line across its hindwings. It would be easier to determine with a more close up picture. I’ll be interested to hear others opinions.
    It would be a thrill for me to see a monarch and a viceroy. Most of the butterflies in my garden are spicebush swallowtails, eastern tiger swallowtails and an occasional gulf fritillary. I still cringe that years ago I destroyed many larvae that were demolishing my dill plant. I wish I had not done that because I think they were monarchs.
    I have great book that I recommend called Butterflies of Alabama which is a Gosse Nature Guide with photographs by Sara Bright and text by Paulette Haywood Ogard.
    Great photos today as always.

    • Bonnie, thanks for all the great info! I enjoy autumn with all the butterflies visiting our garden. I will be looking for the book you recommended! Interesting because I had larvae that demolished my dill a few years ago! Have a lovely Monday!
