Welcome to WildlifeTheater.com.  All of the videos (except 3) on this site and almost all of the photographs you'll find here were taken in my small yard in the middle of suburbia in Memphis, TN.  I hope you'll see that you don't have to have an "estate" or live far away from civilization to find, attract and nurture a wide variety of wildlife.  Enjoy, and come back often.

The Passion Vine in my yard was just poking out of the ground when a Variegated Fritillary and Gulf Fritillary showed up and started laying eggs on 4/29.  The top right photo is the Variegated Fritillary, all other butterfly photos are of the Gulf Fritillary.  In the third row, there's a wider shot and then an extreme closeup of something I haven't seen before.  Somehow, the Gulf Fritillary got a few eggs stuck to its own wings instead of the Passion Vine.  I have no idea what happens when those hatch.  The caterpillars with the white markings are Variegated Fritillaries, the darker ones are Gulf Fritillaries.  There's also a photo of the first Gulf Fritillary egg I saw this year.
