Question Mark

This visitor appeared while Clare, Jenny, Steve & I sat in the back yard (sampling a bunch of interesting brews). Fortunately, my point-and-shoot was up to the task of zooming in enough for a postable shot.

I've photographed and posted one of these guys before —

— but previously I only captured the dark undersides of the wings. The tops are much more interesting!

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Polygonia interrogationis” or “Question Mark”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1044665
