Correction: Not a Bordered Patch Butterfly


***9-24-06: I have received emails from 2 birders with expertise in butterfly identification letting me know that this is not a Bordered Patch but instead a Weidemeyer's Admiral.****

I saw this unusual butterfly on the Canon City Riverwalk. The range map in , Butterflies through Binoculars doesn't show them being found in Colorado. And the range map in the web site Butterflies and Moths also fails to show any documented sightings of this species in Coloraod.

That said, I am a real beginner with butterflies and I may be unaware of their presence in Colorado. But they must be at least rather unusual if not rare here.
