Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sunny afternoon in the low 80s. Butterfly was feeding on Anise Hyssop. I have two stands of plants about 15 feet apart and the butterfly bounced from one to the other and back several times during the hour I watched. When I returned at 17:00 the butterfly was still in area. At one point it was chased by a cabbage white.
