I had never seen one of these before. This guy landed on a Carrion Flower vine in my field, sat there just long enough for me to snap a couple pics with my cell phone, and then flitted away, and I will probably never see another Northern Pearly-Eye Satyr as long as I live.
My butterfly book points out that the clubs on their antennae are black with orange tips.

That's beautiful! Did you know what it was as soon as you saw it?
I almost never know what anything is as soon as I see it! :D I had to go paging through my butterfly book comparing the pictures.
I thought maybe you might have because it´s so unusual lol.
