Randy and all,
Look in the book, Florida's Fabulous Butterflies (bright, coffee
table book) for a photo of one of these taken by my wife, Kerri, in
the salt marsh area I mentioned before on south Big Pine Key. It's
an underside. I couldn't get a good shot so she uses my camera and,
well, guess what? It was down in the pickleweed; you gotta look hard.
Best, Rich
