Red Bordered Metalmark (male) 0887

Pawnee, Texas

Caria ino is the scientific name of this butterfly. I found it on its larval foodplant (Granjeno)which grows abundantly on my ranch. The wind made it difficult to get a picture since the branch was in constant motion. Flash was used since the shadows made this dark butterfly look like black blob.
