Orange and black butterfly. 2 inch wingspan. Found in a wooded area in Augusta, Maine.
thanks! that certainly looks right :-)
Based on your location, I'd tend to guess Northern Crescent - Phyciodes cocyta, though they are very similar to Pearl Crescents - P. tharos.http://bugguide.net/node/view/25729
