Field Notes

Notes:

I was lucky to have this butterfly give such a nice pose. It was feeding on minerals in the soil at Garden Canyon in Fort Huachuca and didn't notice I was there.

Jellis, the sisters do look a lot alike. I'm going with the ID David Ferguson gave on bugguide, he's the butterfly expert there. http://bugguide.net/node/view/322553/bgimage

Most likely Arizona Sister Adelpha eulalia but compare it to the California Sister cause they are also in Arizona
