Ochlodes sylvanoides

Observation date: August 23, 2024
Submitted by: Calypso12
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I found this butterfly floating in the birdbath. It was still alive so I offered by finger and it climbed up on it. I set the butterfly on a flower under a bush to protect it from the rain. I checked on it several times during the afternoon and it was still alive and moving it's wings a bit. By evening it was gone.
