Very nice, Barb. Excellent spread wing, top down look at this Clipper. Your image shows the Cilpper's amazing wing design and torso very nicely with excellent detail. :toast:

Another lovely specimen. That is a neat wing pattern. Do you have ID information?

Mark, the butterfly tent had a picture of a somewhat similar butterfly and identified it as a Clipper. I went online and searched for Clippers and found some that looked exactly like this one which were also identified as Clippers. Sorry, I don't have any more info than that.
