We are in the midst of what I call a butterfly bloom is SE Arizona. There are latterly 1000s of these little guys and gals everywhere. I know this is a terrible shot and probably not good enough for anyone to identify. But if you can...
Never thought of that. These butterflies are were clustered around Bird of Paradise bushes. They could have chrysalis stage in this particular plant. I'll have to go back and look. Have a decent camera tomorrow and will try to get better shots
I think it might be a Snout butterfly.
"For all you Lepidopterists out there"
didn't we cure that disease long ago?

I with you Rick. Looks like an American Snout
(Libytheana carinenta).
