Red-Spotted Purple

Limenitis arthemis astyanax

Description:

I first saw it at the top of a tall tree in my yard, but it came down near some decaying mushrooms to feed

Habitat:

Shady, suburban yard next to mixed forest

Notes:

I had no idea how varied this species is until I looked at the bugguide page for this beauty. I saw the empty cocoon for this species in my yard a few weeks before as well.
