Sometimes as many as 3 broods a year. |

It was very wary but keep staying in the general area compare to some other tough to approach butterflies and tough to photograph in the short time I have - I ended up with many photos of its wings folded up and almost line up with me so I had to omit most of the pictures but finally found one that had it partially open it wings, thus id it.
Look like most pictures are on the daisy family, but there's at least one of a lily family. |
