Well, that’s awesome. I hope to photograph a Viceroy one day, but I don’t think I’m in their current habitat.

I baby sat for a kid whose mom was a herpetologist. She showed me the line on the Viceroy’s wings, differentiating it from a Monarch, and taught me it was poisonous to predators.

Then she stuck a snapping turtle in my face, scarring me for life. She was pretty damn awesome.
