When we were sitting out today, I noticed a brand new to me Butterfly. I quickly Google Lensed it and found it is the White Admiral.
Apparently it is a subspecies of the Red Spotted Purple which we have a lot of. The white banding covers up most of the red spots but the blue is still visible.
The Great Lakes region is the intersection between the ranges of the two subspecies and apparently they can hybridize and create unique color variations.
That would be fun to see.
