Nice Shot
To keep the date and geographic location data meaningful on this website, we don't normally use pictures from insect exhibits.

However, we don't have any photos of this species on BugGuide and my field guide says these stray into Texas, so we should keep this shot for now. I removed the location data from your image so it will not make the system think there was an Ohio sighting.

I noticed you accidentally posted this twice, so I'll frass the other.

Thanks for posting.

Gorgeous!!
But was this picture taken in the wild in Ohio? That's very far out of its territory!

RE: Gorgeous!!
Sorry, I should have mentioned that this was taken at a butterfly garden at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio.
