Not in Massachusetts
Tony, if you saw this butterfly in a conservatory it shouldn't appear in Mass. in the distribution map. It is a rare stray in Texas. Would you do something about it?
I see that Troy has a few photos taken in a conservatory and the location doesn't show in the map.
Great shot, by the way.
