Love the last flower image & such neat looking caterpillars.... Were these taken in a "Butterfly" house, or just outdoors ?

These were outdoors, here in Florida, Zebras are abundant! But I do love butterfly houses, and many great shots are to be had there. Some of my best shots are from the big one in Gainsville, Fla. But they have many non-native species. Thanks for the compliment.

And so does the Gulf Fritillary. It uses the Passion Flower vine as a host plant. These are beautiful, Roxie!
