Pearl Crescent
Phyciodes tharos

Observation date: August 14, 2024
Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: August 16, 2024
Coordinator notes: Nearly impossible to tell the female Pearl apart from the female Northern, as both can have the orange antennal clubs. Going by solely the HW dark veins, since there aren't any that are missed/absent, with all transversing the orange patch, it would be more c/w a Pearl. This is not very specific, however, particularly in females. -jmgesell
