Delicate pink star-shaped flowers bloom above the history shelves at my library. Sticky drops of nectar slowly ooze from the center of each blossom.
This is likely Wild Indigo Duskywing (E. baptisiae) whose native host plant is Yellow Baptisia (Batisia tinctoria) or False Indigo (Baptisia leucantha), the butterfly has also adapted to feeding on the non-native Crown Vetch.
The other possible butterfly species is Columbine Duskwing (E. lucilius) but this is quite rare in SE MI.
