Agraulis vanillae

Observation date: October 21, 2015
Submitted by: anthum
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this cutie in our back screened in porch, butterflies end up on there all the time and even if we leave the door open typically end up dying in there. (I've gotten three butterflies this way) the neighborhood is pretty average size but is surround by fields. Butterfly would keep flying up toward the sun
