Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On June 14 and 15, both sunny afternoons, I observed this butterfly feeding on a patch of wild monarda. It would flit from one blossom to another, not sitting still, so I had a hard time getting a good clearly focused shot of it. It also would land on rudbeckia but not as often. On he 14th I observed the same butterfly or one of the same species about a quarter of a mile from the others, perched on butterfly weed just before dusk. It kept very still but I didn't have my camera with me or time to get it.
