The butterfly is feeding on Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea sp.). Quoting Noah Ranger Heather Miller, "Geodialist, if you can get really close up and stay in focus, these flower centers are awesome. They are a math lesson in patterns." For the complete thread of comments, see the following spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/663... BTW, nice hat in your profile photo!
