Question Mark Butterfly On Cape Cod.

I saw this butterfly on my tree but didn’t know what it was. It is quite different with its wings folded up and extended.

The Question Mark is a large orange butterfly of about 2 and 1/2 inches with black markings on its fore-wings. I learned that it finds nourishment in tree sap which is why it was on the bark of my tree.

Have you ever seen a Question Mark butterfly ?
