Gulf fritillary
The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (''Agraulis vanillae'') is a bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Heliconiinae. That subfamily was formerly set apart as a separate family, the Heliconiidae. The Heliconiinae are "longwing butterflies", and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries, however. It is the only member of genus ''Agraulis''.
==Description==
The Gulf fritillary is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of . Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots.〔Rauser, C. L., & Rutowski, R. L. (2003). Male-specific structures on the wings of the Gulf fritillary butterfly, ''Agraulis vanillae'' (Nymphalidae). ''Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society'' 57(4): 279–283.〕 It takes its common name from its migration over the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf fritillary is commonly seen in parks and gardens, as well as in open country. Its range extends from Argentina north through Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean to the southern United States, as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area on the west coast. It is occasionally farther north.〔Whan, P. W., & Belth, J. E. (1992). Second Ohio record of ''Agraulis vanillae'' (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae). ''Ohio Journal of Science'' 92(4): 121–122.〕
