California Dogface butterfly, Cazadero. This is the state butterfly!

Supposed to have the pattern of a dogface on the wing, hence the name.

Wings were only open in flight, so somewhat challenging to get crisp photo.

The female California dogface is a paler yellow, no dogface, just black dots on the inside of the wings.
