Coordinator notes: Female Crescents are nearly impossible to ID down to species, and can really only accurately be identified when seen with a male from the species. The open orange patches on the HWs would seem to favor a Northern, however, they have never been reported from Waukesha County. Odds would favor a Pearl in this location. -Jeff Gesell
