Coordinator notes: tjay, this is an oddball, an aberration with gray scales smeared across the distal part of the forewing. I can tell it is Dreamy, not Sleepy, only by the long palps on the front of the head. May I borrow this photo to illustrate this aberration in PEEC's Butterflies of NM? please advise: sjcary@centurylink.net
