Submitted by: Brad.Moon
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Dave Patton and I observed one individual flying in circles overhead in heavily shaded riparian and pine forest along a small stream (Roaring Creek) just south of Boy Scout Road in Kisatchie National Forest. After circling a few times, the butterfly landed on a leaf just overhead, where it appears to have laid an egg (the small, spiky white sphere visible under and behind its abdomen).
