Moved

Moved from Red Saddlebags. OOOps, sorry. We're both doing the same thing at the same time! Howell, what do you think of Jerry's images in the guidepage under carolina right after this one now?

Looks like

there is a clear spot in basal part of hindwing so that one is probably onusta.

With those wing patches

and all the black on the end of the abdomen, we would have called this one T. carolina. Why did you settle on onusta? Anything here we should learn more about?

Thanks John and Jane. Carolin

Thanks John and Jane. Carolina does seem to be the best match.

T. carolina

The range maps I have do not show T. onusta occuring in Georgia although Dunkle lists it as migrant in East. Onusta has a clear spot in basal part of hindwing which this specimen doesn't have. I'd bet it's carolina.

Thanks for the information.
