Posted in the ID Please Flickr group, there was a picture of framed butterfly specimens. I clicked–I can ID most North American species–and looked, and thought, “This must be an accidental submission–someone posted to all of his/her groups”. Nope, ID Please was the only group to which it was posted, so it was no accident!

Oooo-kay. What would you like me to ID? Shall I just read the complete species (including subspecies) name from the card at the bottom, or would you like me to ID something else? The frame appears to be metal and the stand could be Lucite. 😉 The genus name has been changed, but a quick search would’ve brought up records under both names, and its common name, too–Arizona Viceroy. Jesus, people are dumb!
