Submitted by: Greimtime816
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly flew into my screened in kitchen window after I took pictures of another butterfly in the garden. I have many species of flowers and vegetables. It was a nice 85 degree day, sunny, no rain. The butterflies come soon after I water the garden and the tops of the flowers. I was able to snap some photos of this butterfly and release it from the window. This window faces the South.
