Juvenal's Duskywing
Erynnis juvenalis

Observation date: February 11, 2015
Submitted by: suedavies28
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: nectaring in bright sunlight
Status: Resident
Verified by: John Calhoun
Verified date: February 19, 2015
Coordinator notes: Because both the Horace's and Juvenal's Duskywings fly in the spring, it is difficult to differentiate them solely from the dorsal surface. However, based on the associated coloration, I can accept this as more likely Juvenal's.
