Hackberry Emperor
Asterocampa celtis

Observation date: July 13, 2017
Date notes: I think it's a Monarch but its details don't match pictures I've seen of Monarchs. I was sitting in Telfair Square in Savannah Georgia having lunch when I was visited by this beauty. I sat still while she rested. She sat for about two minutes then flew away.
