Gulf Fritillary

While I was on vacation in Hawaii I went on the Makapu’u lighthouse trail hike and I was looking for different types of animals along the way. I was really trying to find something that was unique to the islands because it is the most remote chain of Islands in the world. When I came across this butterfly I immediately took out my phone because I really liked how it looked. I was supper excited with the picture I was able to take because it made Identifying it very easy. The Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis Vanillae) stem from the Brush-footed Butterflies (Family Nymphalidae) and the longwing (tribe Heliconiini).
