Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was a fascinating encounter. Kept flying around me so I'd try to photograph it, but then it went and hid up in a hackberry tree. So I got shots of it up there. Finally, I gave up hope that it would come back down, but right when I started to turn away, it flew down and started flying around me in circles again? Finally, it landed on some nearby concrete, so I could photograph it! And it seemd to "model" for me; I got very close to it, and it kept "turning" to different angles? Was wonderful. We were near a wet, muddy area at the dog park and the weather was extremely humid and hot (86 degrees, 65% humidity). Size: Approx. 2.5 – 2.75" (wingspan)
