Horace's Duskywing
Erynnis horatius

Observation date: July 05, 2023
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Missing glassy spot at end of forewing cell. Dark spots along edges of hindwing. Hilltopping. Maybe Rocky Mountain or Horace's? This is not the best photo and there's some wear on the wings that's making an ID harder.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: July 06, 2023
Coordinator notes: it's too late in the season for spring-flying Rocky Mountain. Horace's also stands out with its iridescent upperside appearance.
