Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This little guy is about 2" from wing tip to wing tip. My little girl found it on our door and thought it was "a baby monarch" which prompted us to learn about the life-cycles of butterflies and to try to figgure out what type this really is. Thank you for your help with this!
