Found this today. Had to get the camera! Kinda went wild with it!

EDIT: This is a Gulf Fritillary. You can see the proboscis good in 3 & 6.

I didn't realize it, but my wife pointed out the proboscis can be seen good in #3 & #6. Cool!

Nice series... faves are three and eight, but there are several others that are also very nice. It's getting cool up here--not many butterflies still flitting around, but when I see shots like these I get the urge to go butterfly hunting... lol Thanks for sharing
