Horace's Duskywing
Erynnis horatius

Observation date: June 24, 2022
Submitted by: twofried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These Duskywings make me pull my hair out! Not sure about this one. Leaning female Persius because of the more strongly patterned upper forewing and brown background color.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: July 02, 2022
Coordinator notes: I hear you bro'! this may be a female Horace's. For me, afranius and persius are noticeably smaller than the other duskywings. Of course, size is not apparent in a photo, so if you see/photograph a small duskywing, making note of the size in your submittal will help the reviewer.
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Taos County
