Submitted by: Michelle.M
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was found in the pool so its wings are wet. It did fly away. There are lots of shells of the cocoons under the eves of our house with red spots on the ground below. There have been lots of these butterflies all weekend. The caterpillars were black and fuzzy.
