Oh thanks, but I'm just lucky. I'm no expert, so id'ing insects gets me way off track sometimes, I try not to jump to conclutions though limited tools makes me do that sometimes. https://www.inaturalist.org is a good website I'm currently trying to learn how to use and I have a few other sites as well that I recently came over, looking at the links of identifiers here at PN. I try to remember some families and genuses to ease the burden of time used on searching for species, however it still takes a good amount of time. But I don't mind as it is exciting and purposeful :)

Another tricky one. I think you might be right with Histrionica. There is also Sanguinaria which looks almost identical (within the variations of both, Histrionica and Sanguinaria). And there is also Punicearia, which we should not forget. Checking some descriptions key criteria would be the strong median line on the hindwing for Histrionica. So, this one would indeed be Histrionica. Good job, Gaia!
