Refugee Mourning Cloak
Mourning Cloaks are very fast to fly off as soon as they warm up. This one stayed around long enough for a few photos.
It's caterpillar season at work. This year, a preemptive email has had many folks bringing me Mourning Cloak caterpillars, before they are squashed by the maintenance staff. This butterfly eclosed in the morning and was released a few hours later.
