Persius Duskywing
Erynnis persius

Observation date: June 27, 2015
Submitted by: Cheri Phillips
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: February 26, 2023
Coordinator notes: Enlarged and not very well distinct, you can see the hyaline spots (white looking) on the edge of the forewings that head a dark band that is narrow and rather diffuse...this band is not differentiated well into distinct spots that form a "chain" that is typical to the Dreamy Duskywing which lack the hyaline spots.
