Not every treasure at the Colonial Quarter has a story written in history. This beautiful butterfly is a Gulf Fritillary, a common Florida native recognized by its brilliant orange wings and graceful flight. Its caterpillars feed almost exclusively on passionflower vines, making the species an important part of Florida's natural ecosystem. Even among centuries-old buildings and living history, nature continues to add its own beauty to the Colonial Quarter.
