Same exact thing happened to me with an Arizona Sister; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7233539 Although it was probably due to sweat... but yours seems to like you not because you're a mobile drinking fountain! They are really great to have as a partner, huh?

Thank you Keith. They seem "friendly" if butterflies can be friendly.
