06 SEP 09 BRUSH-FOOTED RED-SPOTTED PURPLE

How's THAT for a butterfly name!?!

"The front legs of Brush-footed Butterflies are short and covered with hairs giving the appearance of only four legs.
They vary in appearance and size so they are often subdivided in to other groups such as Fritillaries, Crescents, or Admirals, for example."
