Field Notes

Description:

Red-spotted Purple or White Admiral (Limenitis arthemis) I'm thinking it's a dull version of this species because it was barely alive when found.

Habitat:

deciduous woods in a disturbed area, aspen, paper birch, cherry

I agree that this is a Red-spotted Purple. It is very worn. You can update your spotting with the common and scientific names if you agree with the ID.
