Thank you Sticks.
With a 300mm lens you must be pretty close, and I can't imagine they let you get much closer. Most of my turtles just look like a distant shiny lump, even with a much longer lens.
It's hard to tell, but it looks as if there may be four leaves as well. It might be worth returning again next season.
It looks like a "Mourning Cloak" (Nymphalis antiopa). See this website for more information. https://bugguide.net/node/view/3188
It was weasle-proofing the bird-house I had in mind, and it looks as though rodents have begun renovations as well. ... by the way, Robyn it's a wonderful picture.
