Field Notes

Description:

The male has a few blue and orange spots, but not nearly as many as the female. This male was very attracted to my light blue shirt, and the light blue flowers of the Plumbago plant. The females have much larger blue and orange spots. The "Tiger" stripes are black on the yellow of the wings.
