Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I was changing the water in the bird bath in our yard and also watering the chrysanthemum plants. The spray from the hose scared out this butterfly from one of the mums. I think it is a male as I could see a black scent patch on each of its hind wings. It was a warm, sunny day.
