Enodia anthedon

Observation date: August 14, 2025
Submitted by: Blablancwillis
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I can usually lure Northern Pearly-Eyes with a plate of watermelon. This year, I saw five at one time. I wasn't quick enough with the camera to capture that, but I'll never forget seeing it. Such shy butterflies that never venture far from the edge of the woods.
