Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)

When I first got a glimpse of a butterfly in mid March I thought it had to be a Mourning Cloak that I know overwinter over here, but as it sat down and gave me a better look specially at its underside I realized it was a Question Mark! I didn't realize that some of them overwintered this far North.

This is a male looking for a female to mate with at the Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre..
