Seen in Lyme today: American Copper
 
Mourning Cloaks can be pretty aggressive in protecting their domain, a  small 
clearing, from other Mourning Cloaks. I was a bit surprised today when I  saw 
a Mourning Cloak chasing a Bumblebee. He must have kicked in the  
afterburners to stay with the bee and after about 75' he gave up the chase,  satisfied 
that his domain was safe, and returned to the center of his little  clearing.
