I removed this from the Minnesota Animals mission since it is not from that state. Was this butterfly in a zoo or butterfly garden, etc (a captive)? Thanks

This is a tropical butterfly so I don't know what it's doing in Chicago ! It must be an escapee from a butterfly exhibit. Very cool spotting !!
