Meridian Duskywing
Erynnis meridianus

Observation date: June 02, 2022
Submitted by: tonzetich
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Observed this duskywing in the Texas Hill Country just west of Medina, TX. The butterfly was flying along a dry creek bed before alighting on this oak. The appearance of the individual is not congruent with a Horace's Duskywing and the timing is much too late in the year for a Juvenal's Duskywing in Texas. Glassberg has range for the Meridian Duskywing in the Texas Hill Country, but observations are sparse. This identification represents my best guess based on appearance. iNaturalist link: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/119950608.
