Field Notes

Description:

these are white where the adults are orange or tan or brown

Notes:

one from the backlog finally identified I believe although the patches on the head are lighter than those shown and the abdomen markings are also lighter than examples in the reference link. Another O.polyphemus, a female, from a year earlier. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16430867. Both of those were sent to Ron Atkinson who tells me they are juvenile O. parcedentatus. The id has been changed accordingly
