I forget where I read it, but if I remember correctly, our subspecies of
Appalachian Brown has that double spot on the hindwing and stronger spots on
the forewing than the subspecies shown in Glassberg's Butterflies through
Binoculars. Look at the Appalachian Brown photo in Kenn Kaufman's Butterflies
of North America, it looks like your specimen. The less jagged postmedian and
basal lines below, and the pattern of whitish around the forewing spots, are
diagnostic.

Today Doug Bruce and I visited Hancock County searching for butterflies and
ragonflies. We found this specimen in the wooded area along the stream
hich forms the margin of a large open grassy picnic area. We have been
nable to say exactly what species it really is.. Five photos are posted
ere:

We have labeled it as an Appalachian Brown, but the forewing eye-spots look
ore like a "Smoky" Eyed Brown, and the bottom eye-spot is a double rather
han a single. We did not think it is an Eyed Brown because the hindwing
asal line is straight, and we are out of the published range of this
pecies. We did not think it a Pearly-Eye because it is too small and does
ot have the white lines surrounding the eye-spots on both wings.
Any comments will be appreciated.
