Observation notes: As I well know, the Scintillant Metalmarks can be really tough. This one is complicated by the fact that I was unable to get an underside shot, so I made the call based on what I see on the topside. The butterfly was in my purple trailing lantana in the backyard. Sunny, hot and very humid. This is TX in the summer.
