It's a gulf fritillary. I'm raising some from caterpillars myself right now.

Bethany,

Congrats on the beautiful Gulf frit! If you want to ensure you have more, you may want to consider planting a passionvine which is the host plant for these butterflies. They'll lay their eggs on them and the caterpillars will use the leaves for food. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the knowledgeable and quick responses! I'm sure a passion vine would do really well in my yard! I've seen them growing vigorously in my neighborhood and they are just beautiful! Great suggestion!
