Butterflies, Flutterbies, Gutterflies?

 

From a midday vist to Columbia Bottom Conservation Area:



This is NOT a Monarch Butterfly.  My "Seek" phone ap identified it as a Viceroy, and some internet sleuthing confirmed it.  A subtle difference to somebody like me (aka ignorant), but pretty clear when drawn out.  See HERE.

Also seen at the same time, this Common Buckeye


Pretty cool!
