Milkweed attracts a variety of butterflies. Monarchs depend up on it to feed their larvae and here a pair of what I believe to be Great Spangled Fritillary Butterflies feed upon the blossoms.

Beautiful!!! I recently posted some photos of what I believe to be the same species of butterfly. Ironically, mine had an injured wing too! I ALWAYS love your photos Salty!!!
Salty: Very nicely shown and told.
I was in Florida and got some great chances to photgraph some birds.
How great to get a photo of the 2 of them together!
What a lovely picture! I enjoyed your cedar waxwing too!
My Camera Critter is here
Gorgeous photo!
A gorgeous picture. I rarely could capture two together.
Beautiful Salty! I have been seeing these guys EVERYWHERE around here.
That is a beautiful close up.
Beautiful butterfly and wonderful colors.
Come see the great catch of the day, for me and someone else.
Excellent! I believe you're right, though I haven't seen that one life - just in books!
Good shot - as is the Waxwing!
Cheers, Klaus
Beautiful! Haven't seen a butterfly that looks like that around here. The population seems to have really dropped in the past few years.
Beautiful photos. Fantastic that you managed to capture not one, but two, butterflies in such a clear, beautiful photo.
lots of depth in this picture - pretty
!!!
Great Country Capture Salty... I do like the names of Butterfly's and Moths... I see so few concidering the catterpillars we have about.
Great capture Salty. We are seeing very few butterflies around our area for several years. Bees and butterflies on the demise. What a sad state of affairs.
I love the colour :D
Nice lighting and colors.
