Description
This Gulf Fritillary butterfly got stuck in the damp sand on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida.
The Gulf fritillary, Agraulis vanillae (Linnaeus), is a brightly colored butterfly common across extreme southern portions of the United States. At home in most open, sunny habitats, it frequents roadsides, disturbed sites, fields, open woodlands, pastures, yards, and parks. It is a regular in most butterfly gardens, including those in more urban settings.

I have never seen a butterfly in the sand and you have even captured individual grains of sand on its wings, beautiful image.

oh,my, Jurgen, this is spectacular. I Of course I am wondering if it was seriously stuck? Did it get out? What a very beautiful piece of work.

Great capture of the Gulf Fritillary, Jurgen! Don't often see butterflies photographed in this environment!
