Hi Carol,
I am NOT an expert by any means, but I will give you my impressions. The
only one to which I have seen an answer is the Silvery Checkerspot, and I
admit that I would have gotten that one wrong. I thought you had a female
Pearl Crescent, but I learned a lot from the answers you received.
On the others, in order:
1. Tawny-edged Skipper - Drab olive -brown hindwing, bright forewing costal
margin.
2. Sachem - Hindwing spots in a chevron pattern, faint brown spot at
center of hindwing trailing margin.
3. Silver-spotted Skipper - Large white/silvered spot in the middle of the
hindwing.
4. See discussion above.
5. Hackberry Emperor - Black eye spot and numerous white spots on forewing.
6. Spicebush Swallowtail, female - Single row of white spots along forewing
margin.
I would be pleased to hear from others on these identifications.
Best regards,
Harold Howell
