Mouring Cloak with open wings…
As I went out to my garage earlier, I saw this butterfly in there go up the rafters so I ran in the house to get the camera and this is what I found:I checked your site and there were 2 or 3 pics but they were all closed wings. and one with closed wings. I live in north San Diego County in Vista and I think it was trying to cool down as it is about 90-95 degrees here right now.

It is our observation in Los Angeles the Mourning Cloaks are plentiful this year.
