Bonus: NY Times Tuesday Teaser

449px-Adriaen_Coorte_-_Three_peaches_on_a_stone_ledge_with_a_Painted_Lady_butterfly

The painting by Adriaen Coorte above, according to an advertisement on the back page of the Business section of The New York Times today (Tuesday), sold at auction for more than $3 million, and features a butterfy ID'd as a Red Admiral.

We get a lot of Red Admirals in the Meadowlands, and this isn't one of them. But we also get this butterfly. What is it?

(The website for the auctioneer, Bonhams, IDs the butterfly correctly.)

Answer tomorrow.
