Submitted by: CA Ivy

Observation notes: Cool afternoon, Phaon basking on ground.

Verified date: November 01, 2013
Coordinator notes: After reviewing many photos of Phaon and Pearl Crescents on several sources, I believe this is a worn Pearl Crescent, not a Phaon, the suggested id. The wing pattern is just not quite right for Phaon.
