Observed flying up from Viola adunca growing within non-native grassland.

This butterfly flew up off of Viola adunca, which was clearly chewed upon.

Saw at least 3; 2 were flying together.

Here's a video of the butterfly where you can see its wings open and close for better verification: https://youtu.be/df3VNjQEACU
