This small dark butterfly kept chasing a much larger Buckeye. They would rest a bit then resume the chase.
Was nectaring on Adelinia gradis (Pacific Hound’s tongue)
Unsure if this is the invasive one? Found on tree in open green space.
he was just on the sidewalk being upside down. had to be relocated to the dirt.
Confirms species is resident at this location. An observation (211885982) made at the same site three days earlier found an individual with damaged hindwings. This one is undamaged, and definitely a different individual.
