I've added photos of the new butterfly. Unfortunately I didn't return from the river early enough to see it emerge, but these are pretty neat.

(now if the anoles don't find it as it's emerging...)

Thanks, Karen; I usually do have keen eyes. But the truth is that this is from the egg I saved from the ants two weeks ago.
