Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There were at least two of these butterflies in the Healing Garden in back of St. Ignatius Nursing and Rehab Center. Moving so quickly from one flower to another it was hard to get a good photo. They are frequent visitors to the garden. Sunny, mild September afternoon. Workers with loud machines were trimming the bushes and plants. Two residents in wheelchairs were enjoying the pleasant weather and the lovel atmosphere of the garden.
