Nice John. I have seen these guys many times on some flowers growing here, but different color. Orange with yellow zebra stripes. I wonder if they are closely related?
The flowers that attract these butterflies are similiar to marigolds, but grow much, much taller. I am working on getting the seeds germinated. Thanks for the post, informative, I like it. Keep it up!

Yes, but if they are not yours or you have not been given explicit permission to hotlink them, at least please explicitly cite the original source in the accompanying text, as well as the direct link. Thanks.

direct link: www.somesuchwebsite.com/pics/butterfly.jpg
