There seems to be a steady stream of them coming through all day. I haven't 
seen 
more than 4 at any given time but I'm pretty sure it's not the same 4.

They're very frisky. I've seen several pair off and then disappear deep into 
into the bushes. Here's video of some serious displaying. This went on for 
about 
7 minutes.

I saw one today at the nursing home where my aunt stays. Had one on the 
Nashville Count on July 10. They do seem a bit late this year.

I saw a Gulf Frit on my Lantana when I first went out this morning at 7:30 but

had work to do. When I finished with the horses it was still hanging around so 
I 
went for my camera to try to get some nice shots. It had switched over to the 
Zinnias so I took a bunch of  pictures. One time when it was switching flowers, 
it flew up and magically split into into 3 butterflies!
