Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: For the last few weeks (May - June) I have been seeing quite a few of this species of butterfly. They seem to like hanging out around the drainage ditch containing fresh spring water; flying to and from the wildflowers and bare earth. There is a forest containing many birch trees close by.
