Is this a Vesta Crescent or a Pearl Crescent? Thanks for your help!

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

Not an expert but...
...I think this is one of the Crescents (Phyciodes).

 
Crescent
Any idea if it's a Vesta or a Pearl though? Thanks!

 
Vesta Crescent - Phyciodes vesta

 
Awesome!
Ok this will make my 8 year old son, Johnathan, VERY happy. I gave him the task of finding which crescent it is in our "Butterflies through Binoculars - the West" field guide by Jeffrey Glassberg. That's the one he picked. He said either that or the Pearl. Thank you very much

 
oops...
I saw your original post with the smaller images and had cropped it. As I was going to replace it I discovered that you had deleted them and replace them with this image. I didn't remember seeing your comment on the first go-around and I have to admit that I didn't read your comment this time... Sorry :) I can't go to species with any degree of certainty.

Nice job with the crop :) Next time, rather than deleteing an image (node), you can replace it by clicking 'edit' under the image. This will bring you back to the form for submitting images. Scroll down and click the 'Browse' button, select another image and click 'Submit'.

 
Oops
Ohh sorry. I thought it would just be better to delete and start over. Sorry about the confusion! Thanks so much.

 
All in all...
...it is still my fault for not reading the comment :)

I have a habit of not reading them sometimes. I will have to work on it...
