JUVENAL'S DUSKYWING ( odd sounding name, huh?)
Hi Folks, Today I have an interesting, however difficult to identify, butterfly that is only seen in springtime-mainly April and May. There are a half dozen of these similar duskywing types seen in my area and all can be somewhat difficult to distinguish apart. Thankfully some only fly in early spring and others later in summer, hence time of sightings is a big help in their identification. I have a county park nearby that has a lot of Serpentine Barrens that is mainly Oak/Pine scrub the habitat for this species. The Juvenal's Duskywing is usually found in early season and welcomed. Here are a few pics and have a good day, Denis
