Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae)

In NC, this is mostly a Southern migrant species appearing mid-summer and after (although sporadic records occur starting in early May). It can be very common along the southeastern coast, but it generally becomes uncommon to very rare as you go northward and westward throughout the state.
