Index of Subjects Thanks for this, Derek! I saw a total of seven Mourning Cloak /Nymphalis antiopa /butterflies today inland in Yarmouth and Digby counties. I also saw a lep. which was brown in the forewings and orange in the hind wings. I just looked up Archiearis infans and think this is what it was. And yes, there were a lot of birch and alder in that particular area.
