I have been trying for 20 years to get a picture of this infuriating butterfly
Glad it helped! These little guys have been flying about for some weeks here, although not in the profusioin of last year's heady Spring weather.
sited in Oregon, west of Eugene, on east side of coast range on March 26, 2015. Thanks for the information!
