Erato Heliconian at Old Hidalgo Pumphouse, 7/7/15

This morning I got a call from Mary Beth Stowe saying that she had just found an Erato Heliconian at the Old Hidalgo Pumphouse.  With the strong southerly winds, that's not an unlikely find.  But it's still a good one so I raced over and found it to be very cooperative.  Only my second ever for the Rio Grande Valley.


It was in a nice shady place up against the pumphouse and out of the wind so maybe it will hang around a few days.
