Notes:   My husband found this butterfly in the driveway with a damaged wing. On the top the colour is black with the white. Underneath it is beautifully patterned in brown and white. I do not think that I have ever seen this butterfly before. Seeing that it could not fly I put it onto one of my houseplants.
