Just beside the parking lot at work is a bird-watching area in a little
dell planted with wildflowers.

Right now, a Lantana is in full glory, and yesterday was being visited by
your photographer and a Passion Butterfly (Gulf Fritillary) at the same
time.

I guessed the Passion Butterfly is so named for the spots on the wings
representing nail holes, but I was wrong.

In fact they get their name from the Passion Flower Vine, their home as a
caterpillar.
