Zabulon or Juvenal's?? - Poanes hobomok - Female
Sudbury, Northern Ontario, Ontario, Canada
June 2, 2007
Size: about 1/2" head to tail
I thought this might be a Juvenal's Dusky Wing but with HW spots hidden by the azalea flower's style, but google found no pictures with the white face. Then I saw the photo of the female Zabulon at http://www.cirrusimage.com/skipper_photos.htm which is perfect except my skipper has no white edge on the HW costal margin... and I'm a little far north for a Zabulon.

Pocahontas female
Yes, now you say this, I think I can faintly see the classic hobomok patch outline on the HW...and I am aswarm with normal Hobomoks right now. She is the first pocohontas I've ever seen. Good picture at http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/30082253. Thanks!
