A google image search on a cropped image helped me to come up with a name on this butterfly, the Banded Peacock, or Anartia fatima. The name is a really interesting one for this butterfly, although I couldn't say why exactly it would be given that name. (I'm not sure about the meaning of Anartia fatima, but banded peacock makes me think of the bird. I'm not sure that the butterfly bears much resemblance.) Happy 30 days of butterfly-palooza; we're almost at 10% of the year! (I suppose that would be six and a half more butterfly posts.) Thanks for stopping by!
