Submitted by: sandyleapt
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Seemed to be sipping minerals from a forest path. Dappled shade and bright sunny glades. Found on a portion of the Meadow Edge Trail accessed from the campground parking lot. Many of this species of butterfly puddling in the campground parking lot. Also found along the trail to the mountain top accessed from the day use parking lot and at the largest of two waterfalls passed along the road to the day use area. Would estimate I saw more than 100 of this species...who knows how many I did not see.
