“Is that a monarch?!”

Don’t let that beautiful orange color fool you. This is the Gulf Fritillary. One easy way to tell them apart from monarchs: the silvery spots on the under side of their wings.

These native Texas butterflies are the highlight of our pollinator garden right now, so if you stop by park headquarters, make sure you check them out!
