Erynnis propertius

Observation date: June 04, 2019
Submitted by: RichHubie
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Very warm day. This is a new butterfly for me. It’s a Duskywing. Looking at the guides points me to Propertius. Much larger than the Western Pine Elfin it was tussling with. Dark fringe eliminates other large duskywings.
