Description
Adelpha bredowii
Found in Madera Canyon, Arizona, USA.
I never cease to be astounded at the interesting and different butterflies I run across when I am out wandering about. I hiked about a mile up a fairly difficult trail (for me), looking for a Trogon. I got to the place where they said the nest was, and waited there for several hours. I never saw a Trogon, but I did see this butterfly. My camera was wearing the 1300mm lens, and this butterfly was somewhere around 50 to 100 feet away.

Wow that is amazing to get such a good photo from such a distance.
OMG -- I thought the image was blurred a little bit, and then I find out the butterfly was over 50 feet away. That is simply amazing! Also looks like the leaves have been falling, it is that time of the year.
wonderful butterfly!!!!
This is a very good!
