Okay, the flower is named. How about the butterfly? Can anyone name it? I'll admit, I've been trying this morning with no luck and my butterfly field guide is missing in action.

I am bad at this sort of thing (got lucky with the asters).

I found these butterfly ID cards on the internet -

Here is a great thing for homeschooling.. its an online lesson wiht handouts for butterfly ID

At the same site - different page - are several lesson plans and resources!

Thanks for asking the question, I would not have thought to google this learning thread.
