Thanks to all of you for your comments. When I actually looked at these side by side I could see the difference in the shape of the wings and as Steve pointed out "the open black spots along the submargin of the hindwing are diagnostic". Thank you Steve.Also thanks to Michel for sending the links to other photos where there are photos that show quite a lot of variation in this species. Something to be aware of. There is always something new to learn.Carol Woodbury Cannon Countyon Jul 17, 2009, at 8:06 PM, Carol Wolf wrote:I have posted my photos of these for comparison.
