My first butterfly of the season and I don't know what it is.
I backed up a bunch of pages on this forum but didn't see one like it.
Thanks

That beautiful butterfly is the Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa), known in England as the Camberwell Beauty

Thank You very much.
I don't recall ever seeing one before.
Are they common or rare?
Sure is pretty.

Thank you everyone.
It looks like this thread is having a second life, LOL.
I have not seen another since I took that pic.
