Nymphalis antiopa
I'm surprised to see one these so early? Odd?
Not odd at all seeing them this early. They hibernate the winter under logs in hallow trees. (Hibernating Mourning Cloak here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/216...) Beautiful velvet color with light blue spot (although the spots in may area have purple spots http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/274...)
