Coordinator notes: Bonnie, please forgive me. Of the 3 butterflies depicted in your photos, 2 are Satyr and 1 Hoary. The top image shows a Satyr Comma in the foreground, so I'm going with that. The first pic has a butterfly on the left toward the back that is not Satyr, but Hoary. I'll note that here for any future viewers of this record. Undersides are variable in each, but each has its own consistent contour to the dark area that includes the "comma." They can be distinguished on that basis. keep after 'em :^)
