Once in a while, when Jello and I have been exploring her favorite rabbit-sniffing field, I have seen this beautiful small butterfly — always only one in the same area.
Maybe 3/4 to 1 inch across, my initial research at Butterflies and Moths of North America, yielded no immediate match. If you know the name of this little gem, please comment or send me an email!

What an interesting specimen Lindy – I too am curious about what it is!
