Milbert's Tortoiseshell
Aglais milberti

Observation date: September 30, 2023
Submitted by: Ldmcmama
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found on a piece of wood that we were moving from a falling down shed on our property. Was shivering so my daughter created a habitat and brought it indoors. Only about 10°C. Planning to provide some rotting fruit for it, to see if it will live and go into hibernation. Will open its wings occasionally but very slow moving. Would sit on my daughter's hand and not fly away.
