Top post! What a peculiar species, never seen anything like it. Got more shots of this? I'm interested in the inside of their wings. Posted 9 years ago

  Thanks Annette this was actually my first time seeing one of these, which is odd since I've been in this spot a few times before and there were about two dozen fluttering about on various parts of the trail this time. I suspect they are only active at specific times of the year. Posted 9 years ago
