Does anyone know the name of this butterfly? I've not been able to identify it on the web.
Unfortunately my garden soaker hose is unavoidably in the background!
Location: Oklahoma City, flower is a butterfly bush blossom
Shot with my Nikon D7000, 18-105mm VR kit lens

Wings open

It is definately Lepidoptera (butterfly) and is a Comma or Question Mark Butterfly. Typing in "Comma or Question Mark butterfly pictures" on Google search will show the butterfly you have photographed.

Thanks for the tip. After Googling 'Comma or Question Mark Buttefly', I think it is probably a Question Mark Butterfly.
