A Red Spotted Pruple
A Red Spotted Purple, aka a Whirt Admiral, showing off the underside of its wings. Marked with reddish Orange spots over a gray to deep blue to black gradient.
These butterflies use mimicry to blend in with more dominant species in their area. This one is mimicking an Eastern Black Swallowtail.
