Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was found at an indefinite time, in an indefinite location, and the pictures of it are of the specimen dead and pressed. The identification was done by me through this website for my friend, who got it from their mom. I did it through pictures and looks alone. I just wanted to add these pictures to the website, but there's not an easy way other than submitting a sighting. Sorry!
