This unique butterfly was spotted in our screen room tent right outside of the back door. This butterfly is interesting as it will winter over by hiding in protected spaces. It lives on tree sap, rotting fruit and animal droppings. It only drinks nectar as a last resort. We’ve never seen one before.

I think it is a painted lady or a harvester butterfly.

I used a butterfly ID website and it pretty well confirmed the Question Mark. Here is what I found: https://gardenswithwings.com/identify-butterflies/unique-wing-shape Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I used to love butterflies and studied them all the time. But ever since we moved into an RV I haven’t had time for all my stuff. So I’m a little rusty but now I remember the question mark butterflies. I caught one once that would always fly in our yard in the evening time.

Interesting looking. How do you know if it’s a butterfly or a moth?
