Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Behavior was different than Pearl Crescent. Was mineralizing on stones in a rock garden, flew up to trees when disturbed. We have not seen other Pearl Crescents yet this season. Sun had just come out after days of rain. Doesn't seem to have black veins in orange on hind dorsal wing. Maybe a new county record
