Nectaring on spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium)

Second individual I have seen on Vancouver Island, first one I have found.

Located in a small vernal pond with sedges.

Previously observed at the base of the road in passing, but this time I explored a little further up to the large road cut

Not a species I get to see very often. Three of them present, feeding and chasing in the late afternoon.

Resting butterfly with head angled downwards.
