Petrophila I - Petrophila
West Farm, Turtle Lake, Barron County, Wisconsin, USA

I'm posting a couple of Petrophila that look like the same species to me, but I'm not sure which species that is. The other one is . I think they're either P. canadensis or confusalis, but correction would be welcome. Canadensis seems more likely based on range, but I thought the pattern looked more like confusalis. I'm not experienced with this genus and am mainly going by photos on MPG.
