Spent a couple days on this after climbing Mt Adams. When I was high up on the mountain, I began to see these little butterflies all over the slopes, flitting around in a field of cinders, completely devoid of plants. Come to find out, they were &quot;estivating&quot; a word which basically means &quot;chilling out&quot;. In the summer, these Tortoiseshell's basically just &quot;chill out&quot;, saving their energy in a place completely devoid of predators, 12,000 feet in the air. Weird. Here's the ref for the mountain - https://imgur.com/a/98d7iKc (I blocked myself out). Also referenced the butterfly, but from about 5 different California Tortoiseshell images.
