Gulf fritillary. Its host plant is passion Vine. If you have one planted look for the orange caterpillars with black spikes. They will eat some of the foliage on the passion vine but are great pollinators.

Sorry thats not a monarch. It is another type of butterfly though. Monarchs are know for big orange wings lined with black and freckled with white. This guy is a nit too small. Still cute though q

Ok so you can buy on Etsy a âbutterflies of _____â poster for your state and itâs a super cute piece of art that has all the local butterflies on it! I got one for Michigan and Iâve been using it to identify the lil babies in my butterfly garden- it hangs in my office I love bringing some of the outside inside
