Common Sootywing
Pholisora catullus

Observation date: June 04, 2018
Submitted by: elopm
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: As many as six males flying around and landing on bare patches of dark soil in the field and close to the house. Very quick and hard to photograph. This one is very worn. All of them only have three white spots and no white spots on the head so I am not sure if Sootywing. Very bright and sunny day.
