Calephelis virginiensis
Photo take at my backyard small metalmark about 2 cm wingspan very similar to the sixola metalmark . The only metalmark of the southeast Atlantic coastal plain. Small. Upperside rusty orange, with fringes dark and not checkered. Underside brighter orange.
Grassy areas of the coastal plain and in open pine woods, savannah, and salt-marsh meadows. Range: Atlantic coastal plain and piedmont from Maryland south to Florida and the Keys; west along the Gulf coast to southeast Texas.
