Northern Cloudywing
Thorybes pylades

Observation date: March 22, 2024
Submitted by: Chrustay
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: All three photos are the same butterfly. In the shade it appeared to have a relatively white margin on the DHW but not when in bright sunshine - which was a little confusing. I'm basing the identification on the butterfly in the sunlight. Hard to see the UHW but it was relatively plain with no obvious frosting in the submarginal area.

Coordinator notes: I think so. Late March makes sense for Terrell County. FW pattern seems correct.
