Northern Pearly-eye
Enodia anthedon

Observation date: July 21, 2013
Submitted by: jazzyconcetta
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These two were following each other around the yard today, barely taking a break. But luckily they landed long enough for me to get this photo, right next to each other, and giving me both dorsal and ventral views! Possibly "courtship"? Weather on day of sighting - 77 degrees, sunny. This is a first-time sighting for me for this butterfly, although I understand they've been sighted in Vermont in the past.
