Observation date: July 30, 2015
Submitted by: COA1955
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw my first one late last summer and another early in July, but this gal showed up and because of her damaged wing has made our garden her home. I have seven eggs safe and secure in my butterfly room and have enjoyed watching her everyday. She seems more interested in nectaring than ovipositing so believe she is in decline.
