Last August I posted this image of a mystery butterfly on a Tilley
hat on a hike near Peaceful Valley in Colorado. Today one of
our Flower Listers wrote that her husband had found
the butterfly in an old Boys Life magazine he was reading.
This is a Weidermeyers admiral (Limenitis weidermeyeri, 1861)
and was discovered in the Adirondack Mountains by your favorite
19th century entomologist John Henry Weidermeyer.
