No that can't be! It says you suggested the ID a minute before I did. It seems I had the shreded pieces of tape smack my face as you seized the day. :) But as for the pictures, they are absolutely beautiful. Great find.
I think you broke the tape though! :)
I'm no expert when it comes to butterflies, but it looks to be a Monarch Butterfly, also known as the Wanderer.
