Love it! Such a different pattern I've been collecting images of Oregon butterflies recently. Still putting up African photos from this winter. When I get done with caprivi strip strip, I'll take an Oregon break. Most of mine are identified, though :)

Thanks, Marta! No more Tico butterflies?? I know you have a very tough one, still on my screen for days, now. I hope I will find the time to check the ID.

This one also shows by Belgium. I have a few to show on the long delay list after Costa Rica. Pretty spotting!
