I believe this is a Question Mark Butterfly, but then again, it could be a Comma. I love the wings .. so much detail.

Finally .. we have been trying to find and photograph a Monarch Butterfly for weeks. I saw this one near the Miami River. It's not a perfect photo, but success .. finally.

Common Wood
We have seen a large number of [Wood-nymph Butterflies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_wood-nymph) this week. I love the patterns in their wings. In the right lighting you can get some intereeting colors too. ~ Rick

Great Spangled What?
I do not recall every seeing a Great Spangled Fritillary before. Yes, that is what this beautiful creture is, and it is a large, beautiful butterfly.
As I said, this butterfly is large, like a swallowtail. Wikipedia says that their wingspan ranges from 62 to 88 mm (2.4 to 3.5 in) (wikipedia. Sure a beautiful butterfly.
Neither of us have photographed one of these in the past. Teresa had a more direct shot, but also had some blades of grass in the shot. She took the 2nd photo. I shot the top photo, but at an angel.
