This is a Lorquin's Admiral that I raised a few years ago. The caterpillars are brownish and whitish and look sort of like bird poop. I guess this discourages birds from eating them. I post this now because I saw this butterfly at the UC Bot Garden yesterday, May 20. I hope we see more of them when I have my Butterfly Walk there on Tuesday. I am doing regular butterfly walks on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Also, there was a ceanothus moth there yesterday that many people enjoyed. I got some pictures of it, but it wasn't my camera, so I don't know if I am going to be able to post that.
