Newly spotted butterfly at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve


Visited the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve today, hunting for butterflies to take photos of.   This nature reserve is located on the north side of the Vedder River, near Chilliwack, British Columbia.  It is accessible from the TransCanada trail, which follows the river.

Discovered a Tiger Swallowtail a couple of times, but couldn't get a shot of it.  Then, I found this one:









Identified this one as a Rocky Mountain Apollo.  I uploaded this find on eButterfly.org.
