New Rare Butterfly

Yesterday morning I photographed a tiny little butterfly that I knew was new for me but when I got it identified I find very few photos online and mine will become the first to appear on butterfliesandmoths.org. 🙂

The scientific name is Dynamine agacles core and the common names are either Pale Sailor, Tiny Sailor or Dainty White Sailor , depending on the source! 🙂 It was very small, like when wings folded about the size of my thumbnail or double that with wings open. Here’s five of many photos I made . . .
