Cordeledawg, that butterfly is a Red Spotted Purple. It has been hanging around since about June. Normally they are wayyyyy up high in the trees, but we got several shots early in the year of it checking out the neighbors (highly pesticidal) yard; then it started to hang out around here.
I don't have any specific host plants (I think they require tree species for larval hosting) - it just appears to like my flowers from time to time. Mostly I see it basking way up in an oak tree and sometimes on my Granny Smith apple tree.

I noticed a lot of peeps in the BF forum (John particularly) had great shots of BF's on zinnias. I'm going to have to try some for the BF garden this year. I wonder if it is a specific type, or if all zinnias are attractive to them?

I've attached DH's best shot of this beautiful Red Spotted Purple from back in June below. It's so lovely it hardly looks real!
