Red-spotted Purple Butterfly

Limenitis arthemis astyanax

This butterfly stayed still the entire time I photographed it (5-7 minutes). It appeared to be feeding on something, though I wasn't able to identify what. It gently opened and closed its wings as I observed.

Habitat:

Backyard of a home in suburban western PA.
