Baltimore

[david bingham]

June 29th, Salem, backyard (American Chestnut orchard):
Baltimore (FOTY)

Note this species was not recorded in Salem at the time of the Ct Butterfly Atlas compilation or on the previous vouchers map for Salem, but I have seen it here in the past few years on several occasions. It was nectaring on Rudbeckia (Black-eyed Susan).  Lots of narrow-leaved plantain in the orchard, which I mow sparingly.
