Great picture of such an unusual looking butterfly!

I just saw my first one this year!

I had several this year. A female did lay eggs, but for the life of me I couldn't find them. I checked the Hackberry sapling but no luck. I think they are so cool looking.

Catherine, they rarely expose there upper wings when resting or nectaring. You can see flashes of the orange on the upper wings only when they're flying, in my experience.
