Amy,
Thanks for the identification.
Jellis,
thank you for expanding my knowledge of nature.
Beautiful buttetfly..
See the wiki writeup so that you view the ventral (underside) side. It is quite ornate.
You have some great shots on your site. Thanks for rose-mallow id. If you get a chance, take a close look at this site. It is north of the Y camp and along the path next to the small west trending tributary.
