I have found John and Gloria Tveten's field guide "Butterflies of Houston and Southeast Texas" to be absolutely invaluable in helping me to identify the butterflies and their larvae in my garden.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-28101155727302535652010-10-28T08:20:25.845-05:002010-10-28T08:20:25.845-05:00What a lovely photo.

My eyes are not good enough to "see" them as they flit about so I have to photograph them and then look them up on the Internet. I've seen the Gulf Fritillary in my garden on prairie verbena.mss @ Zanthan Gardenshttp://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/noreply@blogger.com
