Exploring within Timberline very near the Blackwater River - My wife and I drove as far west on Beech Lane as possible and hiked down the Beall Bridge Trail
to the Blackwater River where there use to be an old bridge crossing that got washed out in flood waters November 1985.
Spotted several of these butterflies in the shaded low bushes. See 'next' and 'previous' images for different views of this species.
