Hi Lisa & welcome to Project Noah!
Where you know the common name of the species, please could you look up & add the scientific name - it is very easy to do on a Google search. That takes the spotting out of the "unknown" list. We would also appreciate it if you could add a reference link & complete some info in the details field for your spottings. The scientific name for this is Strymon melinus, & here is a reference link for you to add -http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Strymon-melinus
We would appreciate it if you could similarly update your other spottings as we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the system uses the scientific name to link similar spottings - which also means this may come up in the thumbnails on other spottings & more people may take a look & favorite it. Without the scientific name this will continue to show up as unidentified & you may get further ID suggestions from other users.
