My spouse and I saw this butterfly at the enclosed butterfly exhibit at The Living Desert Zoo and Botanic Garden in Palm Desert, CA.

They have very striking wings, so much so that I wonder why they are referred to as "common." They seem uncommonly beautiful to me.

A Very Beautiful Butterfly.I always thought it was a kind of Moth. It loves my Raspberry Wine BeeBalm flowers.

Every one of the many Buckeyes in my garden this year had "eyespots" on the under side of the hindwings, All the examples in the books and field guides I have, show examples with no eyespots. A very pretty butterfly!
