Red-spotted purple butterfly on the ground. It is resting on dirt with its head toward the top of the photo. The butterfly has its wings spread open. The wings are mostly black, except for a bit of brown toward the top outer edge. At the outer edges of the forewings there is a line of white dashes, Below that is another line of light dashes that moves from almost white to a light blue. Below that is a line of a couple white dashes, several orange dashes, and then a couple of blue spots. The hindwings have white spots at the outer edge, some light blue curved lines below that, followed by a black line, and then a larger line of light blue squares. The body is black.
