May I ask where you are? Bayoumiss makes me think you're in Louisiana, which would be a remarkable place to see a white admiral!! But the lack of red spots on the hindwings makes me think your butterfly is actually a Weidemeyer's admiral, which are found out west in dry states.

Sherry, under the photo, it says Arizona...so you're probably correct!! I was searching all over to try and find it. These are all so new to me.

I was born in Louisiana, moved to the White Mountain AZ region 4 yrs ago, so you are very astute, Sherry. I'm attaching a pic of the butterfly's underside ... I had him in a decorated wineglass for the photo :-)

Yes, Weidemeyer's.

What gorgeous undersides!

I missed your area notation, Bayoumiss. I'm over here in south Mississippi, so I'm familiar with your home state. The mountains of Arizona are a major change from south Louisiana!

Like a piece of art!
