Different individual from above with a different spot pattern: Note that this bug does not show the spot PAIR at the mid costal (leading) edge of the hindwing (as in the individual above). Instead, the lower spot is offset to the apex of the vertical line in the middle of the wing. I don't usually see this pattern. Orange Co, NC 29 Mar 05 |
