Limenitis arthemis

Observation date: August 12, 2014
Submitted by: Gary The Villages
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I am pretty sure of the ID but the butterfly had no blue on it at all. It was an overcast day, lots of rain, the butterfly had taken shelter in a Scarlet Sage plant in a backyard butterfly garden. Because of rain it did not move all day, may be old and faded.
