Vanessa virginiensis
easily distinguishable by its two large eyespots on the ventral side
forest edge, scrub
I spotted this out at Mud lake around 5.30pm. It flew for a little when I first spotted it, but it must have been winding down or something, because it let me get really close when it landed and never moved. I was lucy to get dorsal and ventral shots.

Wow beautiful great shots :):)
Thanks Keith, Mayra and Noel, I know what you mean, the ventral view is very different from the dorsal.
I initially thought that the last photo was of another butterfly :-) Very nice series!
Wow!!! Fantastic!!!
A beauty. I just started seeing them around here this year, but they have all been fairly ragged.
