Welcome to Project Noah! You can join the Butterflies of North America Mission and add the butterfly spotting to it. The name comes from the black stripes on their back looking like that of a tiger. The males and females look very different, and are easiest to tell male/female from the top of them; Females have blue on them with a pair of orange circles, males have black with a pair of orange circles. The undersides of both males and females have orange and blues and they are just gorgeous.
