I was trimming some Alstroemeria on the balcony when I noticed some movement in the goldfish plant (Columnea nematanthus). It was a Gulf Fritillary butterfly that had just emerged from it's chrysalis. The butterfly was drying it's wings.

Ten years ago, before I knew it's name 'Gulf Fritillary', I set up a timelapse camera to take pictures of the catapillar and chrysalis. You can see posts about here;https://birdcamoncheltenham.blogspot.com/search/label/Passion%20Flower%20Butterfly
