Submitted by: Delenn
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The day was sunny and bright, low-mid 70s? The butterfly was sitting on common crab-grass. It didn't seem wary of me after some time, it simply sat down and unfolded its wings. I did see that when there was a loud noise it folded its wings back up.
