Coordinator notes: For some reason, the original photo does not display properly--I will notify BAMONA. I tried saving the original and uploading it again, but it did not help (that's why there are 2 of the same photo now). However, from the shape of the butterfly, its' silhouette, and the submitter description, I can tell it is a Goatweed Leafwing. SAT
