Common Buckeye

Junonia coenia

Description:

Evidently quite hungry as this butterfly was taking some long drinks of nectar out this flower (Tall Verbena - maybe?). I think this is a Common Buckeye, but am new to identifying butterflies, so appreciate input.

Habitat:

Drinking from Tall Verbena (?) flower in a State Park in suburban Philadelphia, PA USA
