Dreamy Duskywing
Erynnis icelus

Observation date: April 25, 2024
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Very small. I'm not able to narrow it down between these two. I would say Sleepy because of the season, but Dreamy has the gray bands on the abdomen, and the longer palps (per Glassberg).
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: May 01, 2024
Coordinator notes: each abdominal segment has a gray ring around it; also note prominent palps; so this is dreamy - first of the year I think!
