Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Part of a six mile bike trip up Big River Haul Road. Warm and sunny away from the coast. Only saw one of these butterflies. Doesn't seem common on the Haul Road but this is only the first year I've seen them here. Perched on the leaf of a tree and dashed out at anything passing by.
