Very pretty; thanks for posting!
Seems that Texas has a monopoly on these. First post I've noticed.

I just saw one!
We were taking a walk along a jogging trail at our hotel in Mexico (Southern Yucatan area) but I was without my camera at the time... 8:( I could just about scream...it had clearly just eclosed and was absolutely vivid in color. We almost stepped on it. Got home last night and started hunting for which "mariposa" I'd nearly stumbled upon, and here it is... male D. pavon
