Beauty from nature

Posted on July 31, 2011 | 6 Comments

This beautiful specimen is a Hackberry Emperor, Asterocampa celtis.
Family:Nymphalidae
Subfamily:Apaturnae

All of this time I thought this was a moth but I discovered it is instead a butterfly. I found all of my information on the site, Butterflies and Moths of North America.
