Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: this butterfly was feeding on a spent orange half, discarded in the carport area. At the time I took the photos, I did not take the time to look carefully, assuming the butterfly was a tawny emperor as they are common visitors to our yard. It was not until I was clearing out photos from my archives that I can across this image and recalled this butterfly, upon identification, felt it was important to submit this sighting for the historical record for this rare stray to Texas.
