Field Notes

Description:

I believe this is a female. The pearl crescent's pattern is quite variable. Males usually have black antennal knobs. Its upperside is orange with black borders; postmedian and submarginal areas are crossed by fine black marks. Underside of hindwing has a dark marginal patch containing a light-colored crescent.

Habitat:

Shore of man-made lake. Pyamtuning Lake, Andover OH, Ashtabula County, USA.
