Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I started learning butterflies in Taiwan in March 2011. I took photos of this butterfly (?) when I was vacationing in Vail, CO, nearby the field office of natural tour-walk. I found your website and I tried my best to identify it. Hope I'm right - won't hurt my feeling otherwise. Sorry about the picture quality, but you can do whatever you want to them.
