Erynnis horatius

Observation date: March 29, 2014
Submitted by: Nancee Cobb
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: John Calhoun
Verified date: April 03, 2014
Coordinator notes: It is possible that his represents Juvenal's Duskywing, but the ventral surface is not visible. These species are virtually identical unless the spots on the under surface of the hindwing suggests Juvenal's. I have identified it as the most common species of the two.
