Thanks Ann! I can't take the credit though - I realized my mistake when I saw one of Maria B's spottings that Keith Roragen had ID'd http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/107...
Wow they are very similar! The only difference I can tell on the upper side is the Silvery has white marks along the margin. Good catch!
I've updated the ID as I had misidentified this as a Pearl crescent.
Thanks Bernadette!
Beautiful!
Thanks Ann! I think this one was only recently emerged as he was very shiny & new!
Nice vibrant colors!
