Wild Indigo Duskywing
Erynnis baptisiae

Observation date: August 01, 2023
Submitted by: rapids
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: August 12, 2023
Coordinator notes: Probably - with lack of white hairs towards the apices of the FWs, however difficult to see in the photo focus. Cannot entirely rule-out a Columbine Duskywing. Even side by side, these two species can be notoriously difficult to differentiate. Both can be flying at this time and are found in your region. -jmgesell
