Viceroy (Limenitis archippus)

Reveler Conservation Area

This is a very freshly emerged butterfly. It wasn't that long ago that I saw a just formed chrysalis and now the adults are flying.

One can never expect such beautiful butterfly emerging from the pupal case in the previous image.

Such a beautiful butterfly, and interesting to see it not quite airborne yet. V.
