How embarrassing
I tagged and commented on the wrong one. Moving lots of them around, sometimes I leave one tagged I shouldn't. Sorry.

Drat!!
And here I thought we had a record butterfly for Carbon County, PA.

Thanks for correcting that, David. I was a bit excited there for a moment. :)

with Kenneth. This is a Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos).

Crescent
This is a Crescent Butterfly, most likely a Pearl Crescent. But, it could be a Tawny or a Phaon Crescent. They are both quite near your area, according to my field guide. I am pretty sure those are the only ones to be found in your area. The other view really looks like a Pearl Crescent.
