Polygonia interrogationis
An orange and black butterfly in a group known as "Angelwings? The individual pictured is known as the "black form". The "orange form" is more uniform in color.
Feeds on hackberry, nettle, and elm.
These butterflies are not found on flowers, but on rotting fruit and animal scat. They will also take nourishment from animal perspiration.
