What is misleading about this butterfly's name?

Answer:

This is a Gulf Fritillary. Fritillary butterflies are medium to large sized, usually with orange and black wings. Their wings are longer than most butterflies. That description fits the Gulf Fritillary, but it is not a Fritillary. It belongs to a different group of butterflies, the Heliconiinae. It got its common name because it looks so much like a Fritillary, and that helps explain why scientists usually use those long, scientific names instead of common names.
