Wild Indigo Duskywing
Erynnis baptisiae

Observation date: July 31, 2020
Submitted by: jwdawson2020
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: warm and sunny, roadside bank; image 868.jpg obviously very worn, and small, but still looks fairly good for this sp? 872.jpg likewise, a bit larger than the previous, and I’ve been seeing this sp. for over a week in this same patch, with a sp of vetch (but I don’t think it’s crown vetch, per Glassberg et al); does seem to be in association with this vetch; fast flight, jerky at various altitudes, mostly under 12 feet I would say
