West Coast Lady - Vanessa annabella
El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, USA
November 3, 2015
This was a very skittish lady and did not allow me get nearer to obtain a better shot. If confirmed, this will be the first BG entry from Texas. The BG "Info" section includes west Texas as within its range, but ButterfliesAndMoths.org does not mention west Texas in their "Distribution" section. However, their map shows several sightings in west Texas.

Thank you Cliff!
I get a "kick" out of finding some bug previously unreported from El Paso. This is my new drug...
