This butterfly was captured on Paynes Prairie, where I generally go to photograph larger critters.

The topside of the wings have coloring quite like a Monarch butterfly, but with different patterns; the underside colors are several shades lighter than the topside and the pattern of the colors is nothing like the topside.

Anyone out there know what kind of butterfly this is? If so, please let me know because I sure don't know.

Ciao!
