Is this a Queen ?
This is the butterfly I caught while following the beaver the other evening. When I looked it up to identify it I was not sure what it was. I was checking on the web as my book seems to have hidden it's self somewhere. I don't shoot many so not up on ID's.
70-300 @ 600MM EQ 1/200 F5.6 ISO 200

I believe this is a Viceroy, Kendall. Nice capture.

Looks like a Viceroy to me too, Kendall. Nice lighting and composition on this one.
