Submitted by: LauriS
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: 3 PM hot and steamy. Butterfly landed on me several times: my hat, my shoulder, and my back, I guess. I didn't realize it had come in the house with me! I had to catch it up under my hat and release it outside. (I was sweaty, and maybe it was trying to get my sweat?)
