Fresh Wings
This Question Mark butterfly has complete violet/lavender-tinged outer margins. By the end of summer, the wings get pretty ragged (if they survive that long). Question Marks are interesting because they are seen as often on mud, sap, vegetation or fruit as on flowers.
It's called a Question Mark because of a silvery marking on it's outer hindwings.
