I agree with Glenda, it is a mourning cloak butterfly. and it is called that because due to the appearance of the dorsal surface of the wings, which is said to resemble the traditional cloak worn by those in mourning which was sometimes draped over the casket of the deceased (back in the day) and that is the history lesson for today. Wonderful capture Ron!
