Limenitis weidemeyerii
The Weidemeyer's Admiral (Limenitis weidemeyerii) is a butterfly from the Nymphalinae subfamily, in western North America.
Distribution
Limenitis weidemeyerii is found in western Canada, the northern Great Plains (an outlying population), and the Western United States, from the Rocky Mountains westward to the Sierra Nevada and California. It is named after John William Weidemeyer, a 19th-century entomologist who discovered it in its former eastern range extension into the Adirondack mountains.
Description
The Weidemeyer's Admiral's wings are black and white on the dorsal side, with rows of white spots across the wings. On the ventral side, the black is replaced by brown with grey markings along the margins of the hindwing.
