I found these 2 Pearly-eyes today and since they are the first 2 Pearly-eyes 
I've ever seen, I thought I should asked for ID help.

I don't see any black at the base of the antennal clubs which should rule out 
Northern Pearly-eyes. I'm thinking they are Southern Pearly-eyes but the 
hindwing spots in the second one are distinctly isolated which points to a 
Creole. Other than that, everything else points to a Southern.

Whatever they are, they will be a BAMONA record for Chester County. I saw some 
other 'flys today and I'll send the details once I get these 2 figured out.
