Becky, that is strange! Must be the time of year or something because I never saw one in FL last year, but I really only started looking in the summer.

Ok, everyone I need your help with this one. Dad and I were leaving this morning to go get the horse manure and I was showing him my new cassia plants. Lo and behold, there was a butterfly laying in it (it looked asleep). I had a hard time getting any good pictures, but I'll show you what I got.

It's hard to tell, but his nose sticks up in the air, like a Gulf Frit. The antenna reminded me of a hairstreak, but I'm not sure what this guy is.
