Limenitis arthemis astyanax

Observation date: October 03, 2024
Submitted by: Flatcoatnc@yahoo.com
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The butterfly was on my deck, but it was dead. I was blowing leaves when I saw it. Yet, it is very much like butterflies who annually feed on pears that have fallen from my tree. Early October. So far, a warmer than normal fall.
