erynnis
according to Kaufman, it seems like this is E. afranius or baptisiae. Afranius is in the western quarter of the state, baptisiae is more widespread. E. persius is not in Nebraska according to Kaufman.

Thanks.
I appreciate the quick feedback on the 2 duskywings, Ray. These things are pretty tough to id to a species.
