That's a hard one for finishing my day! @gatorfellows: If I take this one I would tend to agree with Eresimus (probably not Montezuma): http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/danaus_eresimus_erginus_types.htm But would you agree with these ones: http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/danaus_gilippus_wheeleri_types.htm http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/danaus_gilippus_hermippus_types.htm My arguments: Smaller spots on the hindwing and the larger spots on the forewing. But I am not 100% sure and would not bet my ranch on it. What do you think??
