Observation date: October 05, 2016
Submitted by: Breck Breckenridge
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This individual appeared much darker to me than I am used to seeing this species. Has it just emerged from the chrysalis? Bright, sunny cool day in autumn. Interestingly the butterfly appeared to be feeding (proboscus extended and inserted) on the Paspalum grass.
