Calycopis cecrops
A somewhat small grey butterfly with red and white zig-zag lines across the underside of its wings. It has a "false head", which are the blue spots and tails on the hind wings. These help it avoid predators. Its size ranges from 0.9–1.25 inches (23–32 mm).
Spotted on wildflowers in a large powerline meadow (see pic 4) that is bordered by mixed forest.
