A Gulf fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) butterfly was pollinating a Marigold blossom in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on July 30, 2023. The butterfly is large enough to hide the flower from this point of view.

The #butterfly genus #Agraulis reinstated. Yay! I fully agree with the author Carla Penz. I really didn't like Agraulis being synonymized with Dione.
