The first photo shows costal folds on the forewings, so it’s a male. Male
Horace’s Duskywings have relatively small white spots (smaller than those in
the photo, to my eye) which suggests Juvenal’s for that one.

John and I spent some time in Enterprise South Nature Park this afternoon.
Libby Wolf had seen some Henry's Elfins there a couple of days ago but we
didn't find them.

There were a lot of Falcate Orangetips at various points around Still Hollow
Loop and Bunker Hill Loop. On Bunker Hill Loop we also had a Mourning Cloak and
several Duskywings. To me the Duskywings look like female Horace's but as they
were either flying around or perched on the ground with out stretched wings
there was no opportunity to see the underside of the wings. Glassberg says that
the Horace's is "uncommon in spring when Juvenal's are common" so maybe they
were Juvenal's.

I'm including two photos of the Duskywings, the second because it seems to have
something attached to it's back. I can't tell if that's a piece of a flower or
maybe a part of it's chrysalis.
