Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Very surprised to find one of these, as I have always looked for them, but didn't think they even occurred in this part of Kansas. Happened to notice it while watching the many Gray Hairstreaks feeding on the Goldenrod by the discovery center. Unfortunately didn't have my camera with me, so this is the best I could get with my phone.
