After a several weeks of fewer Pearl Crescents, there was a second wave of them
in Roane County this week. Among them was this unusual individual,
photographed Friday June 25:

I can't tell whether the bleached area on the right hindwing is due to the
presence of white scales, or due to the absence of scales altogether. The
ventral side (inserts) doesn't show the same effect.
Any ideas about what happened here?
